MARTINA 20.

I was lucky that my 20th shooting with Martina coincided with my will to experiment with my Profoto A1 flashlight, because the apartment was really dark!!!
On the first floor of a condo, with fr...

Shower.

Should I make peace with flashes, now that I have a decent trigger that actually works?
After all, the times I've used it, I got some good results, even if the experience was not free of issues....

Kiki in the mirror.

Kiki is one of the exclusive models for Patreon, and DA Secret Album, of course.
But she can look at herself in the mirror as much as she wants!
Of course, she is not going to have such a goo...

105.

Even when the light is fading away, you can't stop snapping pictures of Martina.
It's a long time since I used this Nikon 105mm f2.5 AI-s, and it is a pity, because it worked very well!
It is...

My cup of tea.

My experiment with tea or coffee cups to help my model assuming natural poses was very successful, and I will have to remember to use this trick also in the future.
In this photo, for example, A...

Limelight.

I used 2 lenses during this last shooting with Sugar, mainly the Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f1.4 AF-D, and a little less the Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f1.8 AF-D.
This photo was shot with the latt...

Brand new shooting with Sugar!

I'm really getting fond of this model!
Sugar is a simple and kind girl, she is not intimidated by me (because she understands that I have no hidden purposes), and we're working very well togethe...

Across the table.

Follow my advice, and look also at the BW version of this photo.
This was shot with the Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2, on the Panasonic Lumix S1.
When the Leica SL2-s arrived, the Lumix was...

Leave the door open.

Good manners requires to knock on a bathroom door, before opening it.
But what if the door is already open?
And this is what you see inside...

Maybe it is a message.

If you want t...

Let's make a dial.

I have chosen the main camera I will use on Saturday with Sugar, it is going to be the old and trustworthy Nikon D810, ideal to use with the Profoto flashlight and the new remote control trigger in...

Warmth.

The feeling this photo transmit is of warmness, which is accurate as it was August 2021.
My "Saudek wall" in the house in Merate was still available, and complemented the skin colours of Linda v...

Locations...

Locations are always a problem for me, especially from when I can't count on the house in Merate.
Nowadays I'm also prepared to pay for a hotel room, adding to the general budget but, for models...

Not your regular beach-goer.

The body of Lauretta is articulated, and it was a pleasure to work with such a capable model.

The true strength of my #BramleyApple project is the variety of the models... but also their beau...

In the Summer, this time.

My second shooting with Martina in 2024 is planned, for June the 28th.
She is not going to be wearing a Winter jacket this time, and she will happily stay naked all the while.
I was going to ...

... or flash light?

Yesterday I anticipated that today I was going to post one of the last photos I took with the aid of a flash, to show you the advantages of this technique over the natural light I normally use...

Natural light or...

It was a long time I didn't post a photo of Cristiana, if I remember correctly, so here she is, in a beautiful natural light.

And speaking about natural light, the source of my inspiration, t...

Cars are no longer sexy?

Young people are not interested in cars.
In the countryside where I live it is still a necessity for the social life, because of the distances and the lack of public transports, but in the city ...

Good actress.

Quinn is a very good actress, capable of great expressions.
You could say that the filter provided by the looking glass is helping her to forget she is in front of my camera, or that it is easy ...

Cornered.

It is easy to shoot in a hotel room, clean and tidy, the model can walk barefoot and lean on the walls without worries of getting dirty; and light, although low, is enough for my style of photograp...

Solid state drive.

I find the consistence of Martina's breast really appealing, especially when she was younger (this photo is from May 2019).
Perfect dimensions, and great firmness.
The arm compressing one of ...

Adding more Sugar.

I have another shooting planned with Sugar, our third together, for June, the 22nd.
I have to check if the location is still accessible, but I was planning to take her in the same abandoned mans...

Stand up and play with me.

I frequently sit low on the floor to shoot my pictures of beautiful models, because it works very well to elongate their proportions in a pleasing way.
But, in this picture, Rabbit appears to ca...

Future Diva?

The career of Anna has just begun, in case she wants to continue... and maybe one day she is going to become a star, just like the one circled by paparazzi on the poster hanged to the wall.

O...

Disorder.

Perfection is boring.
I find this photo of Martina so interesting because of the shadows that are hiding important elements like most of the face, because of the awkward but elegant pose, becaus...

39.

This is the number of photos present on Annalisa's collection on Patreon, a fairly decent number, but there are plenty more to post in the future from our 2 shootings!
I find this one adorable, ...

Delicious contrast.

I love the shape of Anneth, how the shoulder profile is so thin, whilst the breast and bottom are generous.
She represent the seduction of femininity in the purest form, whilst her face is so in...

Shadow hunters.

Censorship sucks, but we creators have to comply if we want to fund our projects with the money coming from Patreon.
Fortunately the shadows are helping in this case, and we can still appreciate...

Flawed.

The expression of Sugar is mysterious, and the pose I asked from her is strange, but the experiment has been successful, and the photo is challenging and memorable, whilst the composition is well b...

I hate modern cars.

For the stay of my Brother from Australia, I had to rent a car, because two seater sportscars are not ideal to transport 4 people + luggage around Italy...
I was given the new T-Roc, petrol, man...

What did I get into?

This is the first time I asked Martina to wear handcuffs for me, within the first hour of our first ever shooting in 2018, and yet she had no problem letting me make my fantasy true.
She had ple...
