Light and sound.

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...

Luxury.

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. 2024-08-27 07:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Polished.

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, a...

Keep on dreaming.

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 examp...

Naturally elegant.

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 sea...

Lucky charm.

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, ei...

True or false?

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, tha...

Preferences.

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 f...

Right height.

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 en...

Open wide.

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...

Reflecting.

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...

Cornered.

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...

ARCHIVED!

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...

Cutting corners.

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...

Scars are memories on our skin.

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 ph...

Peak performances.

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 shoot...

Don't judge a book by its cover.

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 wi...

New workflow.

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 optimi...

Being ourselves.

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
Possibl...

What is enough time?

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, a...

Coquette.

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 t...

Damaging the quality on purpose.

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 exam...

Curfew.

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...

Profile view.

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 becaus...

🍏MY LATEST WATCH ON MY LATEST MODEL🍏

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 frequent...

Wide or narrow?

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 becau...

April 2021.

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 i...

In balance.

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, m...

Take a seat.

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 th...

Relying on my old friends.

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, ...
