New Releases

The contrast between Peggy_Sue's brightness and Chihiro's dark, soulful appearance take their in-frame presence together to an archetypal level, as if they represent more than just two women. Add in the stilettos and abandoned location and this duet becomes quite stimulating - but this kind of philosophical meandering can get long-winded, so let's just enjoy their intriguing taste in footwear.

Wow. If we could have as much fun staying in bed as Aylla seems to have, we'd disconnect the phone line, throw the computers out the window, and never leave the house. Between her musical pursuits, photo projects, and a cheeky nip at the wine bottle now and then, Aylla is an admirably productive artist, with one of the most comfortable studios we've ever seen.

Angelina_Dee is a hero to all woman who strive in vain for the luscious bikini lines and deliciously furred pits of those golden years before wax and razors came into vogue - and there are more of us then you'd think. We'll be at home rubbing hair growth tonics into our unmentionables, but meanwhile we'll keep encouraging this incredibly hirsute hottie to show off what she's got.

One can learn so much just from a woman's expressions and the way she looks into the camera. The lens is a kind of two-way mirror - and we feel privileged to be privy to some of those incredibly deep and sensitive gazes that Lostchild has given herself - and us - here today.

Peardrops is not the kind to shy away from a challenge. We love it when a girl not only won't let a little bad weather get to her, but takes those gray clouds and raindrops and works 'em, the ISM equivalent of ‘Singing In The Rain’.

It's not easy to fulfill the ISM requirements set out for contributors. To be, at once, photographer and subject, one must handle both the camera and frame simultaneously. So when we received Snow_Pea's latest, we were blown away by her ingenuity within those boundaries - just open it up to see what we mean.

The video may start out with a humble breakfast, but before long things get a whole lot more interesting. When you're on such a grand adventure as Sequoia's, taking a time-out for a little self-indulgence is important - sprawling out in the sun, taking your time and knowing that there's nothing around you but vistas and evergreens forever - plus the odd porcupine or two.

Lindsay has already broken some hearts over here at ISM HQ, and we're willing to bet that we're not the only ones. With those subtly feline features and her dreamy auburn locks, it's already difficult to stop looking - so when she submitted these oh-so-casually gorgeous photos of her morning routine, suffice it to say, our crush skyrocketed to new levels of appreciation.

There are so many different ways to use ISM for self-expression, but nearly all of them involve a little bit of flirting - a kind of teasing, show-don't-tell with your intended viewers. KittenMitten chose to engage on that level, using literal veils and peekaboo angles, until everything comes to light in the end.

Zebra_zee is a model citizen, which is why she agreed to fill that incredibly important, but often overlooked role in society - that of the urban zebra. It's not every women who can get up every morning, stamp her hooves, apply the stripes and signature red lips of the trade, and trot out looking fabulous. How does she do it?

For Ishtar, this whole ISM experience was a grand experiment, just to see what she could find out about herself from the other side of the lens. Sometimes we all need a break from looking out at the world, and an ISM photoshoot is an incredible way to separate from, observe, and be yourself all at once.

Sometimes it's necessary to get away for a little while - or a long while. Moving through Gillie's photos, one has a sense of time slowing down, as if her photographic presence were enough to encourage relaxation. If just looking at Gillie makes us feel this peaceful, we can only imagine what she'd be like in person.

It's not every day we see a rustic barn imagined as part of a dungeon setting, or fetish gear set off by dust motes and shafts of sunlight. Chihiro and Peggy_Sue have combined all sorts of intriguing imagery here, and stitched it all together with a deep current of affection which runs through every photo.

When Melanie_A woke up this morning she never dreamed she'd be playing hooky, but her inspiration for the day has little to do with computers and office supplies. So instead of heading out she decided to draw the drapes, dim the lights, and get out of that 9 - 5 groove, even if it takes all day - and something tells us this photo shoot was only the beginning.

Sealu intended this shoot to be a natural experience, just Sealu and sunshine and grass - but it seems like she just couldn't resist throwing in a bit of good ol' fashioned bling. In addition to Sealu's happily intimate interaction with the camera, we were dazzled by her little touches of glimmer and sparkle, those little bits of personality which keep us wondering about the rest of her.
