New Releases

You're on a tour boat in the middle of the ocean. You pull out your binoculars to scan the approaching shoreline, when you spot Janne on the rocks above. Committing the spot to memory, you rush to find it as soon as your feet hit the sand, but when you get there, she's gone. Unless you're a member of ISM, she'll exist always and only in your memory.

“I just tried to be as simple as possible, using natural light, waiting for some sunny day, light was coming through my window. I added a fetish accessory - some retro stockings I have just bought. I really love garter belt and stockings. It's something you don't really find on modern girls.”

"Alas, the life of a homeless nomad is not particularly conducive to such a project as this. I've been thwarted by leeches, myriad beasties and a selection of homeowners who have been springing up out of nowhere like creatures in a pop-up book. Anything, however, that makes my life that bit more surreal makes me very happy and this certainly did that!"

"I just wanted this shoot to be really casual. I didn't want it to be too poser-ish… just spontaneous and fun. The confidence I got out of it was the best part of the project. I'd never done anything like this before and I feel better about my body through accentuating aspects of it and having fun in this way. A couple of times I had to ask my housemate just to 'pop out' for a few hours so that I could have the space to myself. He knew what I was doing, so that made it a little bit strange."

“From the beginning of this folio I started to shoot inside using a mirror and focusing on some body parts. But I noticed soon that I wanted to do it outside in the nature. Flowers became an important theme. Mosquitoes made shooting hard sometimes...”

Like a singer with a loop pedal, Loty's got everything she needs - materials, artist, and model too - without having to rely on anyone else. We'd understand if all that self-sufficiency kept you holed up in your room for awhile, but don't forget to come visit now and then, y'hear?

"Me and my keys, we know each other intimately. When Wurli is turned on he hums like an old fella ready for a jam. We like to play the blues. Sometimes I smash the keys in a frenzy of rage, sometimes I play softly till he is silenced with aged exhaustion. When I write songs on him I am compelled to find a connection with the 70's, an old soul."

"First and foremost, I love wine so the setting was personally appropriate. I really appreciated the autumnal atmosphere and it was nice in the quiet country air. I shot in the mid-afternoon in a chilly breeze and dappled sunlight. Rolling around on the dewy grass and leaves had an Epicurean feel to it."

"I love playing the banjo and guitar. I love blues music. It's a part of me and my way of creating so I wanted to include that in my shoot somehow. I've never gotten naked and taken pictures of myself. It was really quite fun. It was great this morning, the sun was out and I was like 'yes!' and got to run around my backyard naked. It's always arousing being naked out in the open."

"I shot my second folio for ISM one overcast day in Seattle. These photos are taken with my book collection, which represents a good part of who I am. I can't get into reading books on tablets or online, and will always be a fan of the smell, feel, and physicality of real books. As John Waters famously said, 'If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them."

“Först såg jag det som ett jobb - med fokus att bara få bilderna tagna och klara - men efteråt kände jag mig stärkt och kreativ, och jag kände mig sexig. Jag kände mig väldigt feminin, vilket var väldigt positivt för mig.”

As much as we love shiny things - Loty, your bodysuit is out of this world - we like gaffer tape bondage even better. So you're really on a roll here. Being released from your bonds is generally an amazing feeling, but getting that tape off is a whole other sensory experience.

"This was loads of fun... I shot over at my friend's house where they are doing renovations. I had to climb over the back fence, and then went crazy, shooting everywhere I could squeeze myself into. After I finished, I climbed back over to find a group of people hanging around there... It wasn't until I had walked away a little that I saw all the tiny gaps in the fence!"

"It was a cold day but once I got going I wasn't cold - I finished up with a big cup of tea though. There's no four walls enclosing you, even though there's no-one around you it's like you're showing yourself to the world and you feel a little bit naughty and like you have a secret that no one else knows - that was a turn-on."

“There were these construction workers that were driving their truck past. After a while one of them was like, 'Don't let us bother you.' I just laughed and said, 'Have a good day'. Having the breeze blow in places that it doesn't normally blow was a turn-on, like it makes you want to go have sex with someone.”
