Bramley Apple

Long or very long?

Today I'm shooting with £lisandra in Consonno, but I'm not going to take this stunning Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2 lens I used with Cristiana in Gallarate.
I will stick to the choice I made...

Ray of light.

I wanted Slim to play on the edge of this light coming from the window, to get a good balance between lighter and darker areas.
The light was soft and diffused, so the contrast is not excessive,...

Light and dark.

Usually the light should hit the face of the model in a portrait, because our eyes are naturally attracted by the lighter areas in any given image.
But this picture demonstrates that rules are m...

Day off.

I've asked for another couple of days off from work in July, one for Martina and one for a new model from Turin.
Even if next month is supposed to be a busy one, I'm happy to say they've been ap...

Upsides.

I’m currently working on 2 shootings, the one with £lisandra, and the second one with Ania in Consonno.
I’m analysing the pictures to get the best insight for the future.
I want to study...

Cinematographic Ania.

During the weekend I've been working on the backstage videos from the shooting with Ania in Consonno.
Have a look on my VK page to see the only one I've published (in case you are not following ...

Exclusivity.

I always keep an eye on the IG profile of this girl, and I'm pretty sure it is not likely to be deleted by uncle Zuck. because the pictures are really safe for work and for everything else you can ...

Essential.

You can hardly talk about "location" if you are just using an empty wall, nevertheless it is not as common as you can imagine to have such a large neutral background at your disposal... mainly beca...

Unlucky month.

To say June is less lucky than May has been is an understatement...
In May everyone of the 5 planned shootings did turn out all right, In June 3 of the 4 planned have been cancelled already.
...

The secret chemistry.

Funny how each model is inspiring different fantasies, that can change with time...
At the beginning I always wanted to tie up Cristiana in kinky ways, but later she changed, and I have not felt...

Ania under the sun.

I always liked this location, and it has been my unique subject many times, it is also the place where I held the practical test for a photography course I held many years ago.

Now that I'm f...

Gracefully handcuffed.

You can look graceful even with handcuffs on, Demi Fray is showing us how this item can still look fashionable.
So much so that you don't need to wear anything else!
I would organise a catwal...

Difficult to get.

Some models are easy to work with, like Corine (in this picture).
I just have to take days off work when she is planning a trip to Milano...

Other models are difficult to work with, even i...

Catwalk.

Martina is always posing for fashion if you let her free, even when she is nude.
Actually she tended to do so during our first shootings (this was number 3, late 2018), because she had not catch...

Ary from Ferrara.

This is Video Girl Ary, from my second shooting of May, made in Ferrara.
I've done very little work on this shooting, so it was a pleasant surprise to look through the images to select this one ...

Unlucky?

No shooting this Saturday.
It is the second time this new model cancelled our appointment, the first time for a technical breakdown of the car, the second time for an injury in the gym.
I do ...

Dazzled.

In this picture you can see how Sophy was dazzled by the sun on this terrace.
I was dazzled as well, not only by the sun that made focusing very difficult (mirrorless camera's EVF are not ideal ...

Gracefully nude.

Nudity should be a natural state, and we should feel comfortable with our body, just like Annalisa.
Not sure why institutions and social media are so against normality, but fortunately we have s...

Fished out from the Archives.

Today we go way back in 2017 to find the beautiful Stefani on this white bed.

Notwithstanding the amount of pictures I'm publishing every day and everywhere, I still have at least 5 times as ...

Tasting and testing.

I like to spend a long time working on getting the balance of my pictures just right, and consistent the entirety of a shooting.
In the first pictures I edit I put a lot of effort, but not alway...

Vulnerable?

During this shooting I perceived I was looking at a vulnerable creature, maybe it was a special period in Martina's life, or it was only a wrong impression from my sick imagination.
I'm happy to...

Record breaking.

Getting back to all of the 5 shootings of May, I have plenty of material to work on!
It was a record braking month in the history of Bramley Apple and will probably remain unbeaten.
I'm sure ...

4:24 PM.

This clock was working well, which is not a given.
I have one in my kitchen, which has been in the family for ages, but I never look at it, because these days we have iWatches, iPhones, iMacs an...

Hard or soft beauties.

Sometimes, though, we don't need to see the eyes (like yesterday with Giulia), but we like to see also a pretty body.
And Kiki has a beautiful and feminine body to start our June with a bang! 2022-06-02 07:30:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Spoiled by choice.

You have no idea how difficult it is to choose one picture from this new shooting with Ania in Consonno, not because we shot few pictures, but because we shot too many (982) and too good!
I ...
