New Releases

"The day was so hot and the trampoline so warm against my body that I started to heat up a lot. I was glad for the sheets I had put up as my whole body was starting to drip with sweat, too bad this didn't show up too much in the shoot. A cool breeze came through later and jumping up to catch it was a nice relief."

"I just got back from a month-long cycling trip so I was just trying to capture what that did for me. We rode between 60 and 80 kms a day and did lots of camping and naked swimming at beaches and rock-pools. I'm feeling a lot more strong in my body and more tanned than when I left. So this is my settling down after a semi-nomadic trip I guess and it was nice to capture that."

The rustic appeal of floorboards and vintage furniture will never really get old for us - such stuff as dreams are made of. That said, on its own a home is just a house, an empty construction with no real context. It's Lohla who makes the scene, as she intimately explores the potentials of her own domicile, and kindly shares with us the results.

Well, we've never seen someone go to so much trouble to make a tasty lunch before, but now it's clear to us - when Shibby wants a sandwich, you'd best don protective gear and stand back. She's not exactly one to do things the easy way. Just make sure your goggles are nice and transparent, because you won't want to miss this one.

"I hope you all find this shoot to be interesting! Giant underground stairs are both pretty and creepy, not to mention risky! When I was in the drain, I was so surprised at how cold it was. There was a breeze coming out of the darkness which made my nipples really hard most of the time."

"Dancing around starkers is fine when you're sure no human is peeping at your work - but I underestimated Buster's curiosity at my antics - him being our fat, furry white cat, who clearly still thinks he's in the game. The hot plastic of the hose felt alive and snake-like rather than when it's simply held. Wrapping it around you, between you, is more intimate, more quizzical, than I imagined. I wonder why Buster follows me into the garden a lot more these days?"

"My pictures are my little world, the beauty of my body. Every pose and composition have been well thought out, it took a very long time. I think about what you're looking at my pictures, I feel like butterflies in my stomach. A little worried, because it is so personal and intimate. I hope you like my work and will respect. This is not just a pastime, it's the way I see myself and myself feel."

What must life be like, for Animals and Lapsus? If their photos are anything to go by, it's all precious lingerie, sweetly shared smiles, deep conversations that go on for hours, questioning glances over cups of coffee and the odd naked photo shoot... which describes, pretty much, ISM's idea of heaven. Sigh.

"I know how to deal with a professional camera but shooting myself was a completely different discipline. The beach.. 7 degrees, autumn rain and clouds that mess up the lighting. That's why I took a reshoot at my own home. But I could not decide which picture were nicer. I like the outside ones better. I also never knew that I look so concentrated when I am making pictures. But I loved doing it and I hope you all like the result of my experiment!"

"I had lots of fun experimenting with different light and settings. As you can see, I also used some face paint for effect, which ended up taking days to get off. I loved the way it crackled when it dried, a bit like an old weatherboard house. It was a great project.. It is good to know that you can be sexy at any age."

Lunita has this thing about her that just makes us wanna bust out our best Spanish love songs, but we'll spare you the audio. In honor of her favorite band, let us just say... "Cuando vi tu imagen, en mi sueño aparecer sin querer me enamoré. Yo, sin querer pinté el amor, pero el tiempo se llevó el color de tu mirada." SIGH! "

"This folio reflects bodily expressions in different materials and colors, a different perspective to experience the sensations daily outside without having to be there, like blue for wind, yellow for sun, green for trees and animals, etc. Since it's not every day that we have the opportunity to enjoy the pleasures that give us life outside the concrete."

We love a woman who can take care of her own handiwork around the house, and the prescence of that ladder in Suzy's shoot indicates she's just that kind of gal. We get the impression that she stopped in the middle of whatever she was doing to get her kit off and snap away- but don't get too distracted, Suzy. We wouldn't trust our shaky knees to a ladder, not after looking through these pictures.

"I made the photos in a friend's house one day when I slept there. It had nothing to do but have fun taking pictures for ISM. I came to play with foam, foam spilling over my body. It was fun. I finished and took a very relaxing bath to take the foam away."

Don't worry Lilah, all your muck slinging has not been in vain. Your little fishes may not be able to speak, but we just know they're wriggling their little fins with joy, loving their freshly cleaned home. Now, good deed done, it's off to get yourself feeling clean and fresh again, too.
