I rarely listen to music, even if I still have a huge collection of CDs at home.
Some days ago I tried to listen to one CD after a very long time; I tried it with my portable Panasonic bought in 1992, but it didn't work; I tried another portable unit that used to be of my mother, but that didn...
Having so many pictures to choose from, gives me the luxury of choosing also the less spectacular ones, those that are never going to make it in the top 5, or the top 20 of the entire shooting.
But who cares, I can post all of the 416 pictures of Karina, given the right amount of time.
And...
Younger generations are not much into cars or motorbikes, especially those living in large cities.
But in this case I don't care if Ania is into cars, it is enough for me to see her ON my car, and how that red bonnet gets polished by her n4ked skin.
The shine where she rubbed against the ma...
Anneth in Merate.
This young lady with her generous shapes embodies sensuality from every angle you look at her, and wherever you place her.
So let's celebrate femininity with this fine example of a dream come true.
If you want to learn more about the Bramley Apple Project or&...

Most of my models are blessed by the ability of looking elegant even whilst not wearing anything (I would have used the word n4k3d, but it triggers every Patreon alarm bells).
I am expressly searching for such kind of model, one that does not look like a p0rnstar, .but just like a regular next...
Another photo of Lera (I exported 4 when I had the chance), so I could post it on my Patreon community.
Some of my models are wearing very simple jewelry, possibly it is significant for them, either because it is a gift, or a memory, or a lucky charm.
Whatever the reason, I'm ok with them w...
I admit the plant in the foreground is false, no organic plant could live in a photographic studio, it is just there to provide color and interest to the pictures.
But my models are real, that's for sure, those eyes that are looking at us through my camera are genuine, and so are the emotio...

Each of us has his own preferences among models.
We like almost all of them, but every one of us has a specific fondness for just a few of them.
I think Sophy is among the most loved models for most of us, but that is just my impression...
Personally I'm forgetting my ranking lately, bec...
Whilst Dottir and I were shooting far up on the last floor of the Da Vinci hotel, at the ground floor, in front of the main entrance, another photographer was taking pictures of a bride, with an enormous white dress spilling all over the stairs.
I was luckier, with a beautiful blonde lady in h...
I have forgotten about my fascination for wider lens apertures lately, this was the first time I was using the Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f1.4 SL II and I enjoyed experimenting, but nowadays I prefer slightly narrower apertures.
But looking back to these pictures, I must confess there was nothin...
Snapping away is not the best option, I prefer to reflect every time I'm in front of my models, and I try to take advantage of whatever suggestions the location is providing.
Reflecting surfaces are as important as reflecting brains for creativity, and I would love to take credit for this pict...
You can detect a good model when you cut her options.
No furniture, no dresses or lingerie, no jewelry, nothing to play or interact with.
This is a floor routine, in an empty corner, and just a carpet so as not to feel the cold floor in Winter.
This is the situation where lesser models c...
Every time I save a new album on my Archives it is an event, because it takes a long time to retouch every single photo from a set with one model.
But sometimes it happens, and this was the turn of Anna.
To celebrate, today I’m posting 3 pictures of this model:
- One on my Patreo...

Sometimes you have to push stuff out, because if you wait until everything is perfect, you're never going anywhere.
I'm slow with my work, because I have little time to do it, but I try to do it well, actually I am usually too pedantic about details I have to retouch, and yet, in this picture,...
I still have to catch up with some of the oldest shooting, and one of the neglected ones is surely the one with Lera, with a collection of only 3 photos on Patreon.
So today I'm posting 3 new photos across platforms, one here, one on my regular social media feed, and one on DA subscriptions.

We have been looking at some stunning pictures of Ania, placed in the most spectacular locations but, if you want to concentrate on her beautiful body with no distractions, there is no better shooting than the first one we made in the house of Merate.
A quiet and clean place, with the best len...
I love the well tuned body of Lauretta, even if she is not one of the most attractive models I've got, she still manages to be extremely sexy, maybe not dressed and at first glance, but nude and with all the time we want to look at her, she becomes an incredible interesting lady.
This teaches ...
With the last shootings I made, I'm practicing retouching the photos directly on the new MacBook and in Lightroom.
I feel this makes things easier and quicker.
This new workflow should optimise my productivity in the post production phase, I just need to understand if the quality of the wor...
I love the spontaneity of younger models, because they are not used to pretend, less expert in posing a better version of themselves, they look more natural, albeit more awkward at times
Possibly the poses are less elegant, or refined, but are cute, a tender version of reality which is very no...
Ada came from far away, and bloody trains were late, so much so that we had few time together, less than the planned 3 hours for sure.
But I was happy to get my chance to work with her anyway, at least for that one time, because she was a unique model and gave an important contribution to the ...
In most women, there is a natural tendency to seduce, being that a conscious or unconscious process.
Probably this tendency is stronger if you have been modelling for years, and you understood this is getting you more jobs.
Whatever is the reason, and even if I normally ask for neutral expr...
I don't like to have anything between me and my models, but sometimes a frame, a glass or a mirror, can add interest to the photo, and it is worth exploring to avoid boredom.
This is a good example where the disturbing element in the foreground in making the composition more interesting/dynami...
I learned this new word by looking at a TV series, a variant of "lockdown" we are used to from our Covid period.
And Sugar appears to live in a similar situation, after a strange virus destroyed every dress or garment in the world, and the few survivors are living in the nude.
I think this ...
I have been asked by one of you Patrons in private messages to see a photo of Martina with a side portrait, and finding one was not an easy task, because I usually want her to look at me, or because her hair is in the way most of the times.
This is the best I could find in the first 2 shooting...
It has been a long time since I showed you a watch from my collection, and this is the last arrival, an everyday beater, the modern version of the other “aged” bronze Laco I showed you frequently.
I liked the “aged” version so much that I wanted to have a brand new example, with sta...

In my last adventure with Ania, I decided to avoid this 20mm lens, not because it served us badly in the previous occasion, or because the distortion of the human figure was a big threat, but because the surroundings were different and ended a specific treatment.
In this old mansion, I wanted ...
This moment in Martina's life has been a pivotal point, as far as I have understood, and the start of a change.
From a wild young girl she has transformed in a nice wifey, but you can't say it is a black and white transformation, and beneath the quiet surface of her present life, I'm still per...
In the Summer, many of my followers are giving up supporting my work, probably because they have other things in mind, or they need the money to spend elsewhere.
But as the temperatures drops, my followers feel the need for some hot stuff, and are usually coming back on my closed platforms, li...
Who else could say to have been invited on the temporary bed of Annalisa?
Well, these are the benefits of #BramleyApple's Patreon community members!
Annalisa was actually going to sleep in the photo studio that night, so she had her bed prepared in a corner, and I wanted to take some pictur...
Space was limited on that kitchen top, but Martina manages to make it look comfortable nevertheless.
On Saturday, I took my older 2018 MacBook Pro to the Apple shop in order to get it fixed, and the battery appeared to be the only problem with it.
For the entire week, I will have to rely...
