New Releases

It’s still to early to track Santa with NORAD this year but come gather round the Christmas tree for some milk and cookies, (homemade!) tonight. Natasia's already in the Christmas spirit and frankly Santa deserves a present too! Enjoy the lights and neon, and get into the spirit of giving.

Joana explodes onto ISM with a spirit for creation and performance that cannot be contained. Her influences seem to range from David Bowie to Gypsy Rose Lee, but really it seems a bit silly to try to find an historical precedent for this one-of-a-kind expressionist.

It's Melbourne fashion week in this fine city of drizzle, and SHM puts the focus back on Old World glamour. We love seeing a girl swing from the chandeliers and step out in grannies dancing-shoes and pearls. SHM takes home the ‘Zoolander’ for “The Best actor*slash*model catogory (and-not-the other-way-round!)"

Australia’s alluvial soil, that is to say gold bearing; constantly gives birth to authentic personalities. No wonder its shores are surrounded by pirates, how could they resist? Starshine is the latest comet to come hurtling through the ISM project. Had we the opportunity to take up residence with her in an alcove on Treasure Island, at ISM we all agree, ‘It’d be a pirate’s life for me.’

Bathory has crawled up out of the mosh pit, dragged herself to her haggard old Ghia, and gone for a refreshing drive out to the country from which she first emerged as a seedling. She’s coddling the buttercups and serenading the saplings, sprouting right up out of the sea of green like the little petunia she is.

Cate knows a lot of very useful and important things, including how to make paper aeroplanes. We’ve all received these little presents from her (the ones she makes ‘on her lunch break’), but we’ve never tried to fly one. It’s lucky that we didn’t bother, because as it turns out, they don’t go anywhere.

Red_kali’s simple and light depiction of her biggest passion brings with it a sense of humanity and pleasure that isn’t always associated with rope play. She regrets that she’s not double-jointed as she would have loved to show you more, but if you’re so inspired you can head over to her favourite website.

This folio’s a teaser, the greater cool flame generated here only needs one breath and it’s ablaze. Ashley leaves us with a heart aching for the mysteries to be unveiled in empty office blocks with furtive glances and true graphic style. Ashley’s using carpet-burn as a getaway. But we’ve captured her shoot on ISM. Lock eyes and engage.

Lotus’s rise from the swampy waters to produce flowers that make us think of the transcendence of human existence. But adding crocodile-infested waters to the mix, you’ve got the modern day equivalent of ‘The Princess Bride.’ Flora does it all with aplomb. Maybe no one told her, or maybe her sunny personality and body paint camouflage made her think of nothing else but the camera in this sublime ISM folio.

You’ve been asking for this reload since October and tah-dah! Indi finally reveals the photographic portion behind her last video upload ‘Obstruction.’ Layers of lycra fall away to reveal the reason most Australian’s keep coming back to netball. Indi’s so candid with her natural beauty, the only thing better to do with this shoot would be to bounce back and forth with it and the video! And then you can always enjoy a nice cool down with her original debut ‘chlorinated’.

It seems too easy to compare someone as adorable as this to a kitten, but in Chantal’s hibernation folio, the Austrian winter days get eaten away in, at-home play. Chantal’s ice blue eyes are the only chilling factor in this shoot. Although the ‘Sound of Music’ was responsible for many misconceptions about Austria (the national anthem is not ‘Edelweiss!’) it is appropriate to list this folio 'my favourite things.’ We hope to see her dance her way on to the front pages again soon.

Linnie’s a flexible character, and when asked to reload on ISM, she simply shrugged her shoulders, called up a friend to borrow their apartment for the afternoon and viola! Linnie’s a self-confessed photogenic freak and lover of household appliances and Hitchcock shower scenes. We’re thinking that a move into real estate would be well advised. No-one is a success in business unless they love their work, and the way Linnie brings the place to life.. Well no wonder we heard the estate market is always a safe option.

Adin is familiar with being on camera, and she’s got an engagement with its eye that says so, but this is her first shot at standing behind it as well, and we think she’s stepped up to the challenge. Anyone can be pretty for the camera, but it takes something a little extra to be pretty for yourself.

The stars of this set may have missed her by a generation or so, but the ladies at ISM HQ just think of Cyndi when these images are on their screens. We can just hear ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ blasting from a pink boom box as besties Alyssa_lee and Alphie snap, snap, snap.
