I can’t make up my mind about which of the 2 photos from Consonno I will post today is better, but this is surely the most intense, because Maria is looking at us with a sparkle in her eyes.
Anyway, I suggest you don't miss the one coming out later today on my regular social media feed.
...
I should get back using this humble Nikon 85mm f2 AI-s lens, because it has great character!
You can see it in this picture of Martina, but also on the one I will post later today on my regular social media feed.
Not on the third photo on DA Subscriptions, that was shot with another lens, ...
Today 3 photos of Anneth on this wooden floor, should bring us luck or, at least, she looks good in every single photo, and she gives us joy.
For the other 2 photos, check out my regular social media feed and DA Subscriptions.
If you want to learn more about the Bramley Apple Project or<...

From my first shooting with Sophy, on May 2022.
Unforgettable experience I still have to share with you completely.
But today you will get one photo here, and one more on my regular social media feed, just to refresh our memory, and the rest will come, it's just a matter of time...

Still very few pictures of Vicky appeared on Patreon, only 4.
Today I will try to address this by posting 3 new photos of her on this same balcony, one here and 2 more elsewhere.
In this particular photo, and on the one I will post later today on my regular social media feed, you can't appr...
I usually have 2/3 days scheduled on Patreon, in advance, so as not to leave any empty day without your dose of Apples.
But here I am on Saturday with nothing ready for Sunday, having dedicated so much effort to the Monochrome Saturday photo!
For this Monday I've chosen a photo of Stella...

My everyday car, the Mazda MX-5, has been in the workshop for over 2 weeks now, because I'm trying new mechanics and they are not very quick in their job...
For this reason, I've been using and enjoying the Caterham Seven instead, but I soon remembered why I stopped using it as an everyday car...
On Saturdays I will post ONLY BW pictures made with the Leica M10 Monochrome.
This is going to happen only on my regular social media feed this week, as a bonus picture during Weekend.
On Patreon I'm posting a color picture of the same model from the same shooting (with the BW counterpart a...
The appointment with Martina appears to be fixed on Friday, arguably one of the best days during the week, introducing us to the Weekend.
And Martina is our ideal angel, leading us towards Saturday and Sunday.
Not only here on Patreon, but also on regular social media and DA Subscriptions.<...
When I love a model I don't make it a secret.
When I don't like her so much, I keep it quiet, and I try to work on the photos with the same devotion, because even if I'm not fond of them, most of these models are still beautiful women, and their bodies deserve to be admired.

My first shooting with Dottir was not only the best of the 2, it was epic!
This model has one of the best bodies I've ever seen in my life, and the blond hair + the blue eyes is the combination that populated my dreams from my youth.
I would not have been able to conceive such perfection ev...
Notwithstanding the busy end of August with 4 new shootings, I was still working on the older shootings, including the second one I did with Annalisa in Milano, on January 2023.
This shooting was one of those trapped inside my very old MacBookPro from 2013, one of those I was worried having lo...
I was searching for a photo of Linda to post, and this one got my attention for the play between the real woman and her image in the mirror, and how the balance in requiring our full attention.
The model's eye is in focus, but not her breast, so our attention shifts inside the mirror, to find ...
I always make sequences of photos, because I want the final one, the best, that has to be in focus, and everything else.
But most of the times I end up with not just one good photo, but with many, all similar, and yet all different.
Worse still (just a figure of speech) with Maria, that kep...
I confirm that in the future I will dedicate Saturday to BW pictures, let me explain better, because you always get also the BW version of every picture: I mean on Saturdays I will post ONLY BW pictures made with the Leica M10 Monochrome.
This is going to happen mainly on my regular social med...
When you think I might have finished the photos of Martina from the distant past, here am I fishing out 3 gems from May 2019.
For Patreon I've chosen the more intimate portrait, with the signature eye contact we've learned to love from Martina.
2 more pictures of her from this shooting you ...
Rabbit is now saved in Archives, but also on BentBox.
That is an expensive way to acquire all pictures from a shooting, but you Patrons have a preferential way to purchase any of my shootings, and that is sending me a mail.
2 more pictures today of Rabbit, on regular social media feed an...

This is a typical pose you would see in a bathroom, but in this case Elfa was in an abandoned asylum, and specifically near the oven where they used to bake bread.
I think the body of Elfa is really something special, lean but with generous curves.
I was originally planning to shoot also...

Giving up the quarry of Valcava for the cold weather, was a blessing in disguise, as far as I can see, because Consonno is a much more varied location, giving a lot more visual opportunities.
And, albeit we did less pictures during this last shooting (compared with the Asylum and the nudist be...
Here is the Top Quality post I was anticipating some days ago.
When Maria spotted the writing on this wall, she immediately wanted to use it for some photos.
She was full of ideas for new photos, and most of the time I was delighted by them, and you will be also, granted!
But Maria is...

Each of us has his own pace, and when a model asks for a break, you have to give it.
Better still when you sense they are reaching a limit in their attention, and ask if they want to take a pause.
Sometimes I need a pause myself, to make up my mind about what to do next, so I propose we bot...
One charm of this camera is surely its beauty, so much so that it's keeping up with the beauty of Barbora herself, and they look a perfect match together.
But what is really important is under the skin (I'm talking about the camera now), and I will explain on Monday in more detail.
This ...

With all the exciting news of the past days, and 4 new shootings to assimilate, I was forgetting about our best muse since the beginning of the Bramley Apple project.
But here she is, from Feb. 2020, with 3 photos in this Milan bedroom.
I was much more adventurous with lenses at the time, h...
Maria at the nudist beach, getting her hair wet for some moody portraits, in one hand she is holding her glasses.
These glasses were both prescription glasses, as well as sun glasses, ideal for this shooting on the nudist beach, but less practical for the dark rooms inside the mad asylum of th...
I love this photo so much I made 3 Instax square prints of it, had them signed by Maria, signed them myself, gave one to Maria, kept one for me, and one is to be sold, one day, maybe, a long time from now...
It was shot in the Ex Manicomio di Monbello with the mysterious camera, in the beginni...
I was skeptical when Barbora told me she was coming to live in Italy during our first encounter, and yet, here we are 3 month later in her new Italian house!
She still has to infuse her personal signature to the place, and renovation works are necessary, but she is here to stay, and give life ...
Last day of shooting, today with Barbora.
But we had to change our location, because she was stuck somewhere else, so her asylum performance is going to be postponed, but I still want to do it!!!
After this last shooting it's back to normal, whatever that means.
From tomorrow I will also...
I don't want to rush things, I am so happy with the photos of Maria that I have to avoid working on them in an approximative way, or with the wrong light in the room.
Posting one of those masterpieces too dark just because I didn't take my time in checking in several time, would be a deadly si...
Not sure why I have the tendency of keeping the best picture for later, only to forget I wanted to post them in the first place.
So today I decided to post a very good one, albeit it is difficult to choose among so many available from Paulinepastel (686 between color and BW).
Maybe I shoul...
I'm distracting you from what's happening today, with Maria.
I hope the eyes of Quinn can rivet your attention, until I manage to prepare some of the new pictures from these days.
What really matters is that you have your daily picture here on Patreon, because one thing is knowing I'm worki...
