roe & medialuna//"left_field_1"
Duets at ISM are generally a binary thing, two people stripping for each other, pressing their bodies together to fit in frame. But occupying a tight space is not the only way to be intimate. Roe and Medialuna opt instead for a threesome - the camera itself collaborating with one, and then the other, to go deeper than mere skin contact ever could.

scarlet_rose//"groove_back"
"Enlightening and freeing - ISM grounds you and puts you in your body. It makes you feel sexy - I used to feel really old, but this made me feel like I've still got it."

art_emis//"2nd_nature"
"I shot my folio over 2 days, I had to go indoors for the second part as the weather turned horrible. The part I shot outside I got a bit of a tan from. This shoot was more fun than my first, I felt way more confident and creative and could relax and enjoy myself more."

Perra_Sucia//"NewPiano" Video
When Perra Sucia said she hated the piano, we weren't expecting much from the ivory keys of her new toy - after all, if you don't love it, why would be well-practiced? It didn't take 2 notes before we were backpedaling like it was our job, that barrage of incredible sound setting the context for getting to know Perra Sucia, more than words ever could.

devochka//"torrid"
"You learn what you look like when you take photos of yourself, especially from unusual and different angles. I did find it a bit tough to start with, you cant see what you're photographing. My first attempt people kept interrupting me, my housemate's dad came over!! I had to hide."

amandine//"learningcurves"
"IShotMyself was daunting at first, I'm not great with technology, but I got right into it. Once I'd got a few shots I was happy with, I got into a flow and made many, many more. I was so happy to hand in a full body of work."

eva_s//"v_monologue"
Eva S's gorgeous folio doubles as an ode to her womanhood, one so beautifully presented that it'd have Betty Dodson clapping for an encore. In a society where many women stress that their lady bits ain't "normal", folks like Eva S, just for sharing their candid self-appreciation, become sex-education superstars. Bravo.

tamla//"denouement"
Art Prize winner Tamla was the girl who had it all - looks, creativity, and skills - but she's just outdone herself by giving us a peek at her generous library. We can't resist a girl who boasts an impressive reading level, so welcome to chapter 2 of the love story between ISM and Tamla. We can't wait to turn the next page.

angelika//"poetica"
Sometimes we wax just a little bit lyrical, but Angelika has us practically singing ballads over here. Just look - that fragile skin pulled taut, a story of prisms and gently fading lilies, delicate imagery and the strength of woman combined into a substance barely contained by the flesh of its realization. We just love a good muse around these parts.

sookie & hitchy//"iron_chef"
Don't ever let a lovey-dovey couple make you dinner when you're hungry. As soon as they get into the kitchen together, the teasing starts, and it always seems to end up with both of them naked and covered in chocolate. Nobody gets dinner - but Sookie and Hitchy always seem to end up satisfied.

Perra_Sucia//"Guitarra" Video
Between her insane talent and that radically candid personality, I'm surprised Perra Sucia has to fly a sign at all, when she wants to collect coins. Once she started playing, all of our wallets would be hers - plus our hearts, and we'd probably hang outside her house, listening at the windows, and petitioning to join the bad girls club. Get it? She's really, really good.

omo//"curtain_call"
"I opened the curtains in my room for first time in six years! I'm a burlesque performer so I'm pretty comfortable being naked." Hearing about Omo's ISM experience makes us wonder what burlesque dancers usually get up to behind closed curtains - maybe we'll meet her in the forums, and find out.

severine//"underthings"
It's nice to catch Severine hanging out on her patio on a sultry day like this one, goofing off while she waits for her clothes to dry. We've come to know Severine as a bit of a wild one, which just adds an extra dimension of sweetness to the cozy, ordinary intimacy of laundry day.

lyllie//"heedless"
"I was so into it, time condensed and before I knew it I had been shooting for like 4 hours and my housemates were going to be home any minute! My BF said it made him view me in an entirely new way, he looked through my photos about 4 or 5 times before I submitted them. He... errr, seemed to really enjoy them!"

bella_urban//"opportune"
"Shooting was a big mission to find spots where there were no people around. In the bush setting, cars could see my bare bum if they slowed down enough, I just know some of them slowed down deliberately. I shot totally spontaneously, I had my camera on me at all times and busted it out if the opportunity presented itself."
