Bramley Apple

Just in time.

I'm always complaining about the opportunities I miss, but I should also stress how lucky I am, from time to time.
Bianca is a good example: she never modelled before, we made our shooting durin...

Un-makeup.

I'm not the only one experimenting.
Whilst I do it with cameras and lens combinations, the girls might do it with makeup.

This was one of the times Cristiana got it wrong...
That's why...

Long shot.

I like these full figure, long distance shots of a nice girl.
Not every time I can rely on such wide spaces, In my next shooting I will have to make do with a hotel room, but every time I get mo...

Come back soon.

I never resented when Martina turned her back to me, in a physical way, but I hope she is never going to do it in a metaphorical way!
Still waiting for her to come back to Milano... 🤞

...

Overbooking.

I'm getting a lot of disappointments of late from my shootings, or lack thereof.
I manage to schedule them all right, but the models don't appear to materialise in front of my camera for various...

Backing up?

Searching for new models is risky, and the one scheduled for last Monday turned out to be unreliable and unprofessional.
I guess very young ladies who are prepared to pose in the nude are somewh...

Resting like a flamingo.

At the end of the shooting, I was using a longer lens (Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2), so I was going to crop in tight and said to Annalisa she could wear her socks, to warm up her feet.
After...

Voyeuristic appeal of a telephoto lens.

One of the plus point of a telephoto lens is to keep you distant from the subject, like a paparazzi, the longer the focal length, the stronger the effect.
This Nikon 180mm f2.8 ED AI-s does a fi...

Filtered by glass.

If you are not with a person in a specific moment, and you're looking at a picture, or a movie, you are separated from reality by various layers of glass.
Mainly the lens (which should have as f...

Untidy hair.

Many models have learned to play with their hair, and frequently they are getting it messy and sometimes the face results partially covered.
I usually prefer to see the face, but sometimes I lik...

B-sides.

I don't think we could ever get tired of Martina's bottom, so here is another picture where you can see it in all its glory.

Bad luck.

Cars are not reliable, at least the ones of my models.
Last Saturday I missed another shooting.  
I was supposed to shoot with a new model coming from Modena, but her car was broken and ...

Eye bags.

So many young girls have some kind of eye socket problem, particularly Cristiana and Annalisa.
I can spend hours retouching these darker areas (and I'm doing so, slightly, without overturn their...

Goddess or girl next door? - 2 of 2

In my pictures I alternate these two aspects for my models, and I'm not sure which one I prefer.
Yesterday I showed you the untouchable Goddess approach, today I show you the approachable next ...

Goddess or girl next door? - 1 of 2

In my pictures I alternate these two aspects for my models, and I'm not sure which one I prefer.
This is the untouchable Goddess approach, tomorrow I will show you the approachable next door gir...

Skin color.

This sofa in the swinger club must have witnessed some pretty hot stuff, but I suppose it rarely accommodated a beautiful girl like Martina.

I was talking to one of my new colleagues about th...

Eye in the sky.

Stella has some of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, of a light blue colour I would have loved when I was younger.
Her eyes were even more evident when we met, and she was dressed up for W...

Un bel dì vedremo...

Another picture from the last shooting with Cristiana on March, you can spot the same cup I showed you in a previous photo.

These were apartments for rent in Milano, and each one was dedicate...

Looking up at Corine.

In this picture, Corine was standing on the bed, and my camera was about the height of her belly button, so I was slightly looking up at her.
In this picture she feels more important and detache...

Level up on Corine.

Yesterday I showed you a picture of Corine looking down on her.
Today I show you this example in which I am at the same level as her eyes, it is a more friendly and respectful approach to your s...

Looking down on Corine.

I normally avoid looking down on a model, I much prefer to be on level with her or even look up to her from an even lower position.
There is nothing wrong with the towering approach in this pict...

In the cockpit 2 of 2.

Compare today's picture with the Bianca's one of yesterday, not to choose between the girls as both are way beyond gorgeous, but to see different approaches to posing in a cockpit.
The good news...

In the cockpit 1 of 2.

I love the contrast between the cold aluminum and the warm flesh of Bianca in this photo.
Touching this car is pleasant, but I guess touching the skin of Bianca could be even more pleasing, I ho...

Confirmed!

Yesterday I was confirmed for my third trial period in the new job until August, whilst other people were not.
This is a though period for many businesses, because of Covid first and Putin next,...

Moviestar.

With this hairstyle, Cristiana reminds me of some movie star from the past, but she also looks like an ordinary girl next door...
She represents a singular beauty in my model's portfolio, and so...

Demi on the grass.

Still working on my collective shooting on Easter Weekend, with hopefully 3 models in a private villa, complete with garden and swimming pool (albeit it's unlikely we will use the latter in this se...

What is keeping us apart.

In the past months I didn't manage to set up a shooting with Martina because of my new daily job, which, by the way, consists in assembling ironing boards similar to the one you can see in this pic...

Late preview.

I call it late because it is over a month that these pictures were taken, and still they feel fresh to me, brand new.
Even more so they must feel to you!
I like Annalisa and the graphic appea...

Solemn oath.

Working a lot with a model, you start to know her and once in a while you make one shooting that is unique, more special than any other.

It happened with Martina on shooting #3, our first in ...

Back and forth.

You've not forgotten about Stella, have you?
I haven't because I'm retouching her pictures every day...

The Bramley Apple Project is based on this jumping back and forth between new and ol...
