kittensmitten//"fab_facade"
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//"urban_zebra"
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?

Ishtar//"experimental"
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.

gillie//"decrochement"
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.

chihiro & peggy_sue//"stitch_1"
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.

melanie_a//"down2business"
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//"bit_o_glitter"
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.

charlotte_v//"ponyism"
Charlotte_V has never been afraid to share with us the many facets of her brave sexuality, so we are well aware of her affinity for - and identification with - our four-legged equestrian friends. That said, this folio takes Charlotte_V to a new level of artistry, as she delivers photo after flawless photo, delving deep into her own beautiful psychology.

beccasaurs//"jurassic"
A common theme of Beccasaur's eclectic set seems to be rolling in the grass and biting on things, possibly because she's just like that, but more likely because she is part baby dinosaur. Not every ancient reptile has what it takes to get noticed around here, but we're confident that Beccasaur's popularity won't be going extinct anytime soon

rowen//"architectural"
Rowen's classy preference for elegant interior decor, combined with her tasteful use of lines and angles, bring an interesting metaphor to this set of images. The idea of a woman as the city, an architectural marvel of planes and space, gives us a new respect for both skyscrapers and occasionally incomprehensible efforts of Philippe Starck.

Dell//"why_not"
Dell's philosophy in all this being-naked-on-the-web stuff is pretty simple. Her ability to throw caution - and clothing - to the wind and roll around all day with her camera resulted in a folio both inquisitive and experimental, a progression of images which say more on Dell's behalf than a pile of feminist literature ever could.

nastassja//"creek_secret"
Not one for the old 'lazy day by the river' thing, Nastassja decided to put her boundless energy to work and embark on the kind of photographic project we like best. Considering her obvious zest for the process, we're impressed she managed to keep her camera out of the water.

erato//"filigree"
Sunshine and lace are two things that always feel good on bare skin, as I’m sure Erato will agree. The, gentle, gauzy pattern of sunset through fabric wash over the rough textures of this near-abandoned space, and highlight the delicate jewel within.

laa_laa//"laalaaland"
Ahh, the dramatic paradox of clown makeup. The more you put on, the more of your true face you end up showing. Laa-laa toys with a visual metaphor which transports and transforms, bringing to light all the eternal comedy and tragedy of the entertainer - regardless of what kind of entertainment they provide.
