I’ve noticed that I have a different approach between what I post on my regular social media feed and on my Patreon page.
It is as if I select the more spectacular photos to impress on regular social media.
Whilst on Patreon I reveal more intimate aspects of my models, they appe...

In my photography I frequently ask the models to take some unnatural poses in order to make them look as natural as possible, which sounds like a contradiction in terms.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it looks awkward, but it is just a way to display their bodies in the best possible way.

Cristiana is one of my exclusive Patreon models, so I'm not publishing any more photos in the regular social media.
But she is also one of the models I've photographed more, with 5 shootings, so it is a great commitment for me to limit her appearance on Patreon alone.
Still I want to keep h...
Stainless steel is boring.
I love bronze in watch cases because it shows the passing of time on the outside of the watch, whilst the hands show it on the dial.
The bronze reacts with the skin, and with whatever you throw at it and develops a protective patina that becomes unique for each sp...
I like my pictures to be balanced, possibly with medium level of contrast and legibility in both dark and light areas.
So why an I always getting into troubles when I see a ray of sunlight entering from a window?
The contrast is never going to work in these conditions, because the sensor do...
I've chosen Martina for this year's greetings, and more specifically this pensive and moody shot we did back in Feb 2021.
She appears alone in this photo, and I guess we're all inclined to keep her company in such a special day.
Photography is fiction, but the beauty of my models i...

I'm currently working on the shooting I made with this pretty lady, and selecting the pictures, so I thought to fish out another photo that represents the sheer elegance of this woman!
Even if she is not wearing anything at all (apart from the earring), she still looks elegant and graceful.

Fortunately I never forget to ask the models tu turn around, from time to time.
Actually, they tend to do it by themselves most of the times, and I just have to take advantage of their kindness.
Because the B side is usually as beautiful as the A side, it surely is in Annalisa's case, don't...
It is not easy to identify with certainty the color of a pair of eyes, but in the case of Cristiana we can happily spend hours trying...

Nowadays the bed is usually something positive, either for a well deserved rest or, if we're not alone, for some highly desirable sport activities.
How much our point of view can change with age, an...

In a location like Consonno, you cane really feel free to balance your pictures as you wish, as you don't have the limitations of tight spaces.
This is one of the last pictures of the day I spent there with £lisandra, at this time, all the people that were strolling around the premises were g...
My wife was pointing out to me how many young males are getting bald in a very young age, and it is true, look around among the people you know, or think about the football players or other athletes (the fittest persons you could thing of).
How many of them are already bald?
Do you think th...
Bianca is one of my all time favourite model for her classic vintage look.
How lucky we've been to catch her during the short period she was posing totally nude!

Not sure we've ever examined Cristiana's tattoo on the right knee in such detail ever before...
There you have it!
If we have missed any other tattoo, I promise to show it to you in the future, stay tuned.

Especially when we're talking about this beauty.
Sophy would deserve much more time, if I ever get a second chance, I hope to have more time at my disposal for her.

You can highlight part of your pictures in many ways, but this is the more literal way.
So let us fade all the rest in the background, as we appreciate the beautiful profile of Chiara.

The plain skin of Ania is a perfect match for the chaotic graffiti on the walls of Consonno.
The daylight coming from a distant door is perfect to trace the contours of Ania's body and leave a glimpse in her eyes.
I love this location and hope to use it again next Summer!

Even the worst looking background looks much better if it is blurred out of focus by a quality lens.
In this case, the ordinary looking basement is transfigured in an almost monochrome version of a Piet Mondrian painting, but the element that stands out even more is the sharp lady in the foreg...
Another photo from the 16th shooting with Martina.
The apartment in Milano was cold in the morning, and she had to reset the system to have some heat.
During the few breaks in our 2 hours session she was putting on these nice socks and her jacket to keep warm.
In some rare occasions, I a...
We did it!
Yesterday we made our 16th shooting together.
In Milan they are constantly building new skyscrapers or other high palaces, but the light is still making its way to the lower condos.
Martina was staying on the 9th floor, and the early morning sun has helped ...
Whilst shooting, unless it is a carefully staged set, you don't have full control of the edges of the frame.
The style of photography I've chosen requires to except these incidents.
In this photo there are 2 elements that could have been cut off in a more considerate composition: the circul...
I like my beauties to behave normally, and this is easier for a girl which is not a professional model, like "hurricane" Esther.
This is a photo I really like of her, way in the middle of the shooting, after she started to relax, in her own kitchen, with the elastic band for her hair around th...
The skin is alive, it gets damaged and it is capable of repairing.
Or it can bear some temporary marks from whatever we're wearing.
I always ask my models not to wear tight underwear just before the shooting so as not to leave marks on the skin, but it is almost impossible.
In this case,...
Back to my pretty Aussie model, another subject you've seen very little of.
I have a lot of work to catch up with, and at least one more shooting coming during this year, Martina on the 7th.
Not sure if I've been more lucky or busy during 2022!!!

Also a kitchen can become a studio, not only near the stove, but also in a simple and abstract corner.
I dare anyone to demonstrate this is a kitchen, because it looks just like a studio!

I would like to start this new month with Martina, whilst we're waiting eagerly for the shooting I have scheduled with her for December the 7th (hoping we can make it happen this time!)

A Patron was asking some days ago if I had abandoned handcuffs: NO WAY!
I still love them and try to use them on every new model (if she is willing to do it).
That's why today you are getting the third picture of Quinn in a row, to show you she was happy to wear the handcuffs for me.
