New Releases

It's easy to have misgivings about quitting the city - What if there's bugs? What if we get lost? So if you ever need inspiration for that long-overdue trip to the forest, just open up Shayma's folio - the creativity and joy with which she engages with the nature around her will send even the most staunch industrialist running for the hills.

Well, if Tea_Cake wanted to prove that she is one beautiful woman, she sure picked an interesting way to do it. Sunburnt and scabbed up, Tea_Cake still looks prettier than a whole stack of Monets. We're almost afraid to see her when she's completely intact again, since we can't really imagine how she could get any more perfect than this.

If you are a bird that flies and broods, stays up late, and/or takes pride in the beauty of your own raven-black feathers, you had better watch out - there's a new bird in town who's got all that going on and more. Plus, we're willing to wager that none of her feathered night-friends have got Torrid's amazing taste in footwear, either.

It looks like OJTinkerbell fell straight down the rabbit hole into her own personal Wonderland, a place of bright colors, beads and ribbons, and almost impossibly joyful grins. Lucky girls like her seem to drift on the air like dandelion fluff, living in a sort of mystical reality we mortals can only read and dream about.

Is it bad if we're a little bit jealous? Estas has really gone all out to make the best kind of birthday present for her friend, and her sultry glances and slow revealing of those well-wishes have us drawing up all the necessary legal documents. It seems like everyone here at ISM HQ suddenly feels like they were born to be named "Lea". Isn't that funny?

A trip through the textures and weights of Jai's personal effects may seem a bit curious at first, but the way that she photographs them against herself stands out. Her ability to visually transform everyday trinkets gives us a myriad of ways to look at her, and each object seems to bring out a new facet of her personality.

Isabo and Adam didn't care too much about potential peepers or interruptions from the get-go, but as the day gets long and things heat up between them they seem to completely forget their surroundings, immersing themselves only in each other and the ongoing documentation of their summery good times.

Anytime you combine a knit rainbow cap, a pink ukulele, angels, green walls and a handsaw into one photographic project, sheer inscrutability and saturation of color will somehow bring it all together into a kind of breathless coherence - yeah, we know, but you have to see it to get it. Rocket knows all about this kind of thing, and so, brought us a folio just eclectic enough to keep us on our toes.

Now, maybe those of you who haven't given it a go yet don't know this, but shooting yourself au naturel in the city streets takes a whole lotta chutzpah. There's no end to the distractions and interruptions, but fortunately Jasmine_D has no fear of her own urban jungle - she's as savvy and city slick as they come, and the confidence we see in these photos just proves it.

We get into a lot of mirror and reflection play here at ISM HQ - hey, its research - but try as we might, we cannot replicate the incredible fractal-like images that Fonran has managed to capture (seemingly) without trying. Still, as cool as her skills with a looking glass may be, they don't even compare to the impressive niftiness of Fonran herself. Check it.

As long as photography exists, there will be no end to the romantic appeal of warm lighting. Rita_A must have been doing this kind of thing for awhile: she's got curves and angles in all the right places, and illuminating them with the golden, honey quality of her atmosphere is a deliberate and excellent, choice.

Join Urtica in the space she's built around herself, a unique habitat that she wears as personally as her own skin. Repeating imagery, the surrealism of smoke and mirrors, and Urtica's concise photographic skill take this folio from merely creative, to true visual poetry. Urtica will not be tamed.

Woah. When we turned down a date to play Scrabble with Alexis_V, we were pretty sure we were dodging a bullet - after all, no matter how beautiful the girl may be, a night of double word scores and checking the dictionary is enough to kill anyone's libido. If only we realized what she intended - Scrabble will never be the same, but we're pretty sure we like Alexis_V's version better.

When folks do their own stitching they're bound to show off a little, but Fiona_N's gone and been her own designer, mannequin, model and photographer in order to end up with this folio, taking the presentation of her DIY couture to another level. All her hard work paid off - it makes me want to ask Fiona_N to put some love-hearts and polka dots all over something for me, while she's at it.
