I was trying out the new Voigtlander 58mm with Martina in Brescia, and I'm pretty sure I was using the full aperture of f1.4 here.
I fell in love with this lens right from the start, albeit now I rarely use it wide open.
Somewhat the same concept apply also to Martina... 😉
No, I have no idea what was on the TV at the time, and neither would you 😅
I was trying to find the right balance between the flashlight, ambient light and television...
Side lightning and neutral color background make for a great picture and isolate the subject.
Coralin is posing confidently and her hair is a beautiful prop for a unique image.
The bossy attitude of Martina taking up the whole bed is not bothering me at all, possibly because of her smile...
Blurred in the background of this photo you can see the top of a bell tower from a nearby Franciscan convent.
Mixing sacred and profane is always interesting, albeit I personally believe the naked body of a beautiful woman is even more sacred than a church...
I've completed the retouching on Jiulia's shooting, so let's celebrate with this picture of her pretty bottom.
This is probably her best body part, but her attitude towards nude and her youth make for an overall compelling package, and the tan lines are very sexy indeed.
I really enjoyed wo...
February 2018, this was my first shooting with Martina, we were just beginning but I was already hooked.
Doesn't matter if I'm always concentrated on the technical side of photography to understand the magnitude of things in front of me, my little brain knew I was up to something with h...
Light is playing beautiful tricks on Shinrin's body, that's why I love skinny models!
I've been fantasising about this stair from the moment I've seen it in the pictures Chiara had send me, and we did manage to get something good out of it.
I always try to take Martina in the bedroom, wherever we happen to be.
But this was a particularly appealing bedroom with glass on 2 sides looking out on Milan rooftops.
That evening we had a beautiful light coming in from the windows, creating some special patterns on her skin.
She was ...
I know you like K., even if I've retouched only the BW version of the pictures.
Somehow she does not need the color to be sexy.
These 2 pictures had to go together as they work as a perfect sequence: in the first picture she was lost in her thoughts and seems to have just noticed your pr...

Still working on this photoshoot of Dovile, this is one of the few safe for Patreon pictures.
I might do a new special album on Flickr for the long term patrons only with some of the other "unsafe" photos... but first of all I should finish editing the files!
Don't poke a stick at the tigress.
Sometimes Martina really looks like a wild animal, and some people were telling me about her strong character...
I've never had the chance to experience this side of Martina, and we always got along in a calm and professional way, but I'm always aware o...
When you work in a huge space, you need a powerful model.
It's like a opera singer in the Arena di Verona, it's sheer the volume of the voice that helps him reach the last seats.
Miele was exhausted after this shooting, and she was telling me it was because she really tried to fill up such ...
Fake it until you make it.
Lenne is good at smiling for the camera, maybe it is not the most sincere smile, but it appears natural anyway and makes for a great picture.
But somehow I still prefer the smiles of Shinrin when I try to say something funny, it works rarely and for a brief moment...
Confidence is sexy, and how Martina moves despite being nude always amazes me.
This was a shooting in October, fortunately it was a relatively hot day, but we pushed our luck here.
She was basking in the late afternoon sun coming from the window, warming up before we headed out to take some pictures in the forest nearby.
Outside she was less cold than in this building...
When you have a look through chair like this one, you really have to ask the model to sit the wrong way round, because it soon appears to be just the best way to do it!
This crouch on a kitchen top does not appear like an easy position to keep, but Martina looks comfortable and natural anyway, this is how a pro model behaves.
Doesn't matter if the position makes no sense, as long as it appears aesthetically pleasing. 😂
What a beautiful sight to see a naked lady on a red sofa.
The warm color boosts the temperature of the already hot Cristiana.
Cold day.
The landlords of these rented apartment in Milan don't keep the rooms very hot, surely not warm enough to shoot nudes in Winter, they also avoid explaining how to boost the heating in case of necessity.
So Viktoriia needed to warm up in the middle of the shooting, and here she was...
This garden was not exactly a golf course, the grass had not been cut in years, but Martina still look beautiful and romantic in this contest.
Just for a change.
Why seat on the sofa if you can seat on the floor?
I'm always prepared to stay at the same level of the model and give a different prospective to my pictures.
I'm not saying that having such a beauty naked in your living room may look normal 😉, but you may as well make it even more speci...
The Panasonic Lumix S1 does not enhance the colours like most of the other camera brands tend to do, and I like how it rendered the blue of this ball and the skin tone of Coralin.
I had some problem with the flickering of the artificial lights later during the shooting, but in this picture the...
This sofa in the house of our friend in Brescia is always full of stuff.
Been near the entrance door it feels natural to drop everything on it...
But it is also a good looking furniture, and in this occasion I decided to use it with Martina.
The red fabric makes for a nice contrast with ...
This was a model-sharing with Sadie, in a beautiful villa near Torino.
I was there with a friend of mine, he enjoyed himself but didn't get passionate about nude photography like me.
We were not allowed to do much with Sadie in terms of nudity, and this was the highlight moment, but t...
I'm very happy to announce I have found the larger file set of pictures from this old shooting with Puffa, they were hidden in an external drive.
Ive found them during the regular check and maintenance of the archives, and I have now made plenty of backup copies everywhere!
This was the ...

It was a great honour to have Martina in my car, I also took with me a black T-shirt for her to sit on, so as not to feel uncomfortable on the black leather of the seat.
It was our second shooting together and I was taking a lot of precautions with her, but nowadays I realise it was not necess...
I try not to appear in my pictures, I much prefer to show you the girls!
But sometimes my figure appears out of focus in some random mirror.
I'm sure you don't care much about this issue, maybe you hadn't even noticed, not when you have all those tattoos to examine 😉
I love how the shadows play with the skin, even when there are no tattoos like in this case.
The Contax-Zeiss 135mm f2.8 has done a great job with the delicate skin pattern and the out of focus areas.
I will post a slightly different composition of this picture on Flickr, later on, I'm not ...
