This was a time I was still shooting with the Nikon D810 and the Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 AF-D Nikkor ED.
Well, by looking at this picture I have remembered why I felt the need to turn down autofocus and got interested in manual focusing with mirrorless cameras.
You can clearly see in the p...
Winter in the Merate location can be very cold!
We did manage to warm up 1 room for the comfort of a naked Kiki, but then we tried a quick dash in the living room for a photo near the chimney.
I guess Kiki would have asked to stay in this room much longer, if only there was a hot fire in th...
You don't get many when you shoot with Cristiana, because she smokes a lot!
But I still like to work with her, particularly in the Summer (like in this case) because you can leave the winsows open to let the smoke out 😂
This shooting has been uploaded on Archives, complete with the ba...

This is Linda interacting with the furniture.
Not the usual pose for portraits, maybe not particularly comfortable or natural, but for a naked lady the position really works fine.
I particularly like the profile of her face in shadow, that stands out from the background but still retains so...
Very little of Martina's right nipple is visible in this photo, but it might be enough to be blocked on Facebook and Instagram.
On the other hand it is not enough to justify making my censored versions of the photo!
I guess it is an ideal image for Patreon, where I don't have to worry so mu...
Judging by my Lightroom library module, I've done 13 shootings in 2021 so far.
14 adding the one I should make next Sunday.
This take 2021 among the most productive years in the history of Bramley Apple.
Not bad for a difficult year like this one!
Bianca is, for me, the best debut ...

Apparently we have another model for our Patreon squad, which makes 13 (counting also the newly arrived Stella).
13 is considered an unlucky number in Italy, but I'm confident the number will raise very soon, in fact, I'm trying to plan another shooting with a German model a week from now... ð...
Beauty is more powerful than brute force.
In this picture Martina appears like Hercules about to push down on the mythical Pillars, the ones you're not supposed to trespass.
But, with such a gatekeeper, I've lost all interests in whatever may be behind those pillars.
Please Martina leave...

Whenever you tie up a model, remember to free her after you've finished the shooting! 😅
I always leave the keys nearby, so in case I have an heart attack she can free herself, not such a remote occurrence, considering the amount of beauty I'm exposed too for 3 hours.

Martina always knows how to put on a show, even without a proper stage.
The audience was not big, just me and the owner of the night club, but maybe Martina was imagining a wider crowd looking at her...

Stella (the brand new model from Sunday's shooting) would have been my ideal girl when I was very young, I always worshipped females looking like angels, with long hair and blue eyes, especially when they felt cold and detached.
Later on, I started to turn towards more mediterranean beauties w...
This is the first picture leaking from yesterday's shooting with Stella, the new Russian apple.
I know the name is similar to Stelladiplastica, but that is how she wished to be called, so we will have to try not to confuse them!
The apartment was very small, and the bedroom was occupied,...

Later today I will be shooting with a new model in Milano.
Long hair, blue eyes, athletic figure... let's hope everything goes well.
The location is the house of a friend, the same friend that helped me to find some of the last models, including Bianca.
Unfortunately his apartment is far...
Yesterday I showed you Jiulia from the front, this is the back version I asked her to replicate for me.
I think she did a good job, if not for the precise position, at least for the general mood, so, which of the two do you prefer?
Front or back?
All what's happening during a shooting...

This is a nice picture of Jiulia, but you might ask yourself if it would be better if she was turned around.
As a photographer you can ask the model to keep the pose and go on the other side, but not in this case... so I asked her to turn around for me and take the same position.
I will sho...
Time to examine the new tattoo on the belly of Cristiana, do you believe what it says?

Surely I must have convinced a high number of people that Martina is particularly beautiful by stubbornly shooting with her again and again.
Exposed to her beauty it is impossible not to fall in love ...
Not easy to frame a picture in total darkness, but at least the Nikon D810 did a great job focusing (for most of the exposures).
Even if one hand has been sacrificed in this photo and the lines are not at all straight, I like the expression of Martina, I guess she was looking into the huge mir...
Cristiana is not one of those pin-up beauties, the ones inspired by Playboy bunnies, nor she is a top model.
Cristiana is just an ordinary young girl, the ones you could see everyday, a girl next door.
But this is probably the reason why we love her so much!
Not a lot of time has pass...

Also Corine has joined us back as an exclusive model on Patreon.
No problem with her, she just didn't see my message! 😂
What is the thing that doesn't make any sense in this picture?
The remote control.
With a girl like this in the room, naked, who the hell needs a television?

I've found some parasite website that have stolen many of my backstage videos and it is not sufficient to ask for removal, you actually have to ask through a DMCA paperwork.

I know that similar names can confuse, it happened in the past with Sofia and Sophia, 2 very different models, now confined in the "Missing Models Album" on Flickr.
But you can still get confused between Jiulia and Giulia, 2 of the models I'm now showing only on Patreon.
This is Jiulia.

This photo is from my last shooting with Martina, in April, such a long time ago I'm ashamed.
As soon as I can take some days off my new work, I will take all chances possible to work with Martina, to try and compensate for this long time without her.

This photo is from the third shooting with Cristiana, the one in Gallarate, and not from the last in Milan.
