naoko//"groundings"
Naoko goes alfresco in her debut, perhaps because it gives her a chance to connect with the ground a little more closely than she might otherwise. The earth seems to have a magnetic quality for her, and she finds as many ways as she can to curl herself around and into it.

bonny//"accomplice"
Bonny and her camera are a pretty dynamic duo - so attached are they these days that she feels funny in the frame without her clicking companion. And they make such beautiful things together; we're not going to complain about a little lost framespace that might otherwise be filled with Bonny.

white_kat//"waking_light"
The daylight bounces all around White Kat, creating a halo to extend the one she's already wearing. After all of these serious artist-types we've had lately, it's nice to have a bit of bright-and-cheery-just-because.

birdgirl//"indelible"
We certainly didn't forget Birdgirl, not after that rather bizzare menagerie she created in her debut. This time she's definitely out to make sure that her image is never erased from your mind. It's for the best.

vasilisa//"shift"
Today Vasilisa offers one of those heavenly, plush, chilled rosé sets, doing well to draw out the investigation of dreamscapes that Slitrin performed just a few hours ago. Let Vasilisa draw you into the light. Though you may find a little more darkness there than you were expecting.

slitrin//"obscura"
Absolutely stunning textural visions make it really hard not to want to invent a prize for Most Amazing Comeback Ever, just so we could give it to Slitrin. The grain and tone are pulled straight from a 1970s French arthouse film, and the phantasms from her flamboyant imagination.

spacewitch//"domesticity" Video
Forget the talkies - Spacewitch reminds us how films were made when they were still young and sexy, much like Spacewitch herself. As soon as this enticing missus is wielding her mop and ironing board, once-boring chores transform into a giggly adventure caper - complete with cocktail hour.

krystel//"krystelclear"
You could swim round in those eyes of hers. When you've got a pair like hers, you don't really need a whole lot more to attract attention. There's something so giving in those glistening pools of blue that makes Krystel seem eerily familiar, though we're sure we hadn't met her before...

lottie_t//"personagem"
One of the most amazing things about opening up the possibility for anyone to shoot herself is the honesty it seems to bring forth. The very simple curiosity we have as humans to see other bodies and familiarize ourselves with their diversity and functionality is indulged on such a basic level in Lottie T's set.

ollive//"danseuse"
Ollive is a mover. Never the type to stay still or 'en place' for too long, it's appropriate that she'd make her folio a sort of movement-study, one that captured those ephemeral shapes the body takes when in transition.

stasha//"blood_roses"
Stasha's blunt black bob and stained lips evoke a certain dark, almost vampiric femininity. One that sucks you deep into these well-composed images and doesn't let you go until it's damned good and ready. Not a bad introduction.

rouge_soie//"tropicality"
Alternating those classic cheeky grins with moments of deep, photogenic sensuality, Rouge_Soie is back to give us a little taste of what we've been missing. Her newest folio is a shiny green lure, perfectly crafted to tempt us ISM club-members down with her into the lush undergrowth.

monkey//"so_fresh"
Hold on to your backwards caps, little chilluns, cause there's a new girl in town, and this rad Monkey has just brought ISM up to a whole new level of badassery. She got it all: the fierce urban warpaint, those brash, daring postures, and a remarkably innovative take on self-photography - making her definite crush material in our books.

hadleigh//"jerseygirl"
A true Jersey girl doesn't give a damn what anyone else says - she's making her own way through life, thankyouverymuch, for better or for worse. Hadleigh is all about indulging her own impulses and passions, and whether or not they gel with yours is quite low on her list of concerns. In this case, though, there should really be no conflict.

Lucyxxx//"emerald_earth"
The flush of a day spent out in the sun, getting amongst it with the crystalline greens and greys of her verdant little hideaway - Lucyxxx didn't even need any practice to figure out just how to make her ISM experience a freeing and energizing one.
