jesselyn//"ode_to_orchid"
Comparing flowers to women’s sexual organs is fairly common - I mean, the physical resemblance and the fact that flowers actually are sex organs make it too easy. But that doesn't take anything away from the quality of Jesselyn's unique presentation. Georgia O'Keefe would be proud.

bee//"wash_away"
"I love the beach, and I actually felt less inhibited naked than in a bikini. I used to do body-art modeling so I brought my paints just in case I felt like it - it was definitely easier having some body paint on before going fully naked. Before long, I eased up and got into the water and washed it all off anyway."

shift//"nudie_run"
With each successful nudie run, Shift is doing more than racking up street-cred - she's improving her community value. A lonely park bench, an anonymous bike path - when Shift inhabits them, sad places become happy ones. And anyone lucky enough to catch a glimpse feels a little happier, too.

minnie_rose//"botanicdesire"
Shot through glass and aloe fronds, Minnie Rose appears to be some new phenomena of the natural world. I'm not sure that Michael Pollen knew it, but I'm sure that once he sees this new botanical wonder, he'll agree that his book title was made for her. Minnie Rose, Minnie Rose, how does your garden grow?

joya & katija//"thecoolkids_1"
Woah - so this is what the cool kids are up to nowadays? While we were down at the mall sucking down the dregs of our slurpees and wondering where everyone was, Joya and Katija are up on rooftops, painting each other pretty and making experimental artwork - keeping themselves one step ahead of the pack.

chloe_r//"savvy"
"I was in my friends backyard. Her neighbours are super nosey, I thought they were going to spy over the fence! One of the days was freeeezing cold. Other days were too bright and glare-y. I've already told my friends all about doing ISM. I lead the way in my group, so some of my friends will no doubt end up following in my footsteps."

toko//"jitterbug"
"I had fun and felt very in touch with myself during the shoot, but I got bitten by an ant on my butt half way through! Maybe the bite is even visible in a few photos, actually there were lots of insects."

ghost//"residual_2" Video
If you were to combine Antonioni's sense of intentional pacing, with the willful, bracingly defiant attitude of Frida Kahlo, and then casually mix in a bit of BLU, that Italian street artist, you might stumble onto something comparable to Ghost's existence. We only catch a glimpse in these few moments, but it's enough to keep us wondering for quite awhile.

tigerlilly//"band_camper"
"I work at a music store and one day while I was working I was trying to think of a theme for a shoot. That day a customer asked me what instrument I played, and I told him primarily, I play the flute. He asked me if the rumors about band camp were true and I told him - pretty much!"

wolf//"numinous"
Wolf, there's something supernatural about you. When I open up your folios a hush comes over the place, a door slams shut without warning and it's just me and you and your intense eye-contact, wilted petals falling as you adjust your cream stockings. This is the best kind of spooky.

lanie//"wet_tiles"
"I do, however, like to take the occasional hot shower fully clothed - cheap thrills - you're not supposed to do it I guess. It's part of the fun of having sex with women too - cause you're not really supposed to."

nel//"unfurling"
Ferns are one of those plants that don't boast any flowers, so the luckiest ones have exquisite women like Nel to complement them instead. The curling, layered shadows blend so perfectly with her creamy skin that we're not sure which came first - Nel's attraction to the fern, or the fern's love for Nel.

athena_b//"tableau_vivant"
"So much fun! ISM gives you the creativity to do whatever you want, you don't have to follow someone else's ideas. It was even more fun for me, I'm so used to working with photographers and this was great, to do my own thing."

ava_rose//"chatelaine"
"I liked shooting myself, I liked being in control. I was completely comfortable, I didn't feel nervous. I loved where I shot, it was so pretty and... 'me'. I knew I would be okay. I have always felt good being naked."

ghost//"residual" Video
Ghost doesn't have to speak to make herself understood. So many people struggle to explain their art and it seems that they are forgetting what Ghost knows very well - art is already communication. And she doesn't need to tell us twice.
