kaylyn//"comeback_kid"
We couldn’t believe it was her when we saw her again after so many years – Kaylyn’s had a few ‘additions’ to her person that made it understandable that we almost didn’t recognise her. But she’s still rockin’ the same cheeky, tough-girl expression she always had. Some things never change.

miss_summer//"summerskiss"
We can see why she was crowned Miss Summer 2010 - this lady lives for summer and the warm glow it brings to all things. She looks like she's spent more than a few days basking in the stuff, and there's certainly no sign she's been doing it with clothes on.

callisto//"redrocks"
Naked bouldering, while probably not the sort of thing listed in the National Parks Guide’s set of suggested activities, is damned good fun. Bare skin on sun-warmed rock is one of those ‘smallest given things’ that Callisto lives for.

arrabella_z//"tonic"
What's your poison? Arabella_Z can probably fix it up for you, and we must say: she makes a very thorough beverage. Let her bartend your next soiree and you'll be boundary-stepping in no time, waking up to a black eye and some hate messages on your voicemail. Never underestimate the power of the mixologist to steer the course of your evening.

victoria_v//"invigorate"
The freshness of this folio is enough to remind us at HQ that life is not all stale heat on concrete…though we had started to resign ourselves to the condition. But outside city walls, there are toes in cold streams and fruit fresh from trees, things that invigorate and revitalise.

hazel_h//"cupidsarrow"
Cupid’s arrow entered the scene of Hazel_H’s images with pinpoint accuracy – she’s most definitely the one, and we’re certainly not the only ones to have noticed. But does anyone else detect a possibility that she was expecting it to arrive?

mariani//"vibrance"
We severely doubt Mariani’s ability to make her images do anything less than burst out of their own frames. There is a palpable vibrance contained within her, one that could only be matched by the most alive of places. And she always seems to know where those are.

viola_venom//"reddelicious"
This set is dripping with the too-good-to-be-true juice of the proverbial poison apple. Viola_Venom is one of those fruits that looks like bliss to bite into, but would have you out cold in a second if you actually attempted it. Some of nature's glories are only for looking - any more than that will have dire consequences.

nathalie//"lumineux"
The brightest thing that appears in Nathalie's images has to be her eyes. Their depth and colour is so unique, and despite all of the other things on offer in each frame, we're having a hard time pulling our own away from them.

blue_girl//"blazingbelle"
The sun shines differently all over the place, and we love getting folios from this particular part of the world where that afternoon glare is so…Arizonian? Blue_Girl does a pretty fantastic job of making that desert sunshine work for her, but she’s had so much time to observe it that she knows its character like her own.

shoezies//"galacticon"
This is what Mardi Gras looks like on Mars. But what happens on Mars stays on Mars, and Shoezies returns to Earth (or so it seems) and her civilian existence, the only evidence of her spacetravels being a bit of glitter where only the camera can see it. This girl will forever have sparkles in her undies.

andi//"shooter" Video
Oh, that southern drawl. There's nothing more American, not even cherry pie. For those who are already Andi fans, this should be thoroughly satisfying. And for those who haven't perused her work in the archives, you'll be hearing that singsong speech in the back of your mind as you get (very) familiar.

elyse//"greenwood"
If there's one particular area of skill in Elyse's self-portraiture, it's that she's perfected her technique for photographing her bum. If you've ever attempted to perform this act, you will have some idea of the degree to which it leaves most baffled and straining and bending in half, but she makes it look like a breeze.

roe//"integral"
We all have fluctuating feelings regarding the concept of transparency – it’s one of those themes that evolves with life’s experiences, and for the unique group of individuals who contribute to ISM, it’s just one of the many things to contemplate. Here’s Roe’s meditation on the topic, one approached with honesty and simplicity.

miss_mellow//"mellowyellow"
The vibrance of colour and light here are a direct effusion of that which exists within Miss Mellow. Her presence is at once calming and energising, like a strong peppermint tea that brings you to life in its freshness whilst easing your body and soul.
