Martina is always sexy when posing, but it has nothing to do with the position of her limbs, it is more down to her general attitude, so even a sober pose like this one is still heavily charged with hidden promises.

This was the first shooting I made for the Bramley Apple project, in November 2016, even before I decided to call it like that...
During this workshop I learned a useful lesson: keep total madness for the end.
We made plenty of good pictures and different sets with Stelladiplastica, but in the last 10 minutes we decided...
When I was at Annalisa's place I had the chance to meet her sick cat.
Also Cristiana has a cat, but I didn't get to see it because she is in Rome.
The one of Cristiana is not sick at all, in fact it is so lively that in this last shooting she was bearing on her skin some traces of the games they play together.
In par...
Same Brescia apartment of yesterday's picture, the last visit I made with Martina.
Lat afternoon, daylight was gone, and we were using the available lamps.
Like most of the times, I don't regard being at the same level of the model enough to emphasise her figure, so I go even lower.
It is working fine in this imag...
Not every shooting I'm allowed to work in just the right location, this would be a house with several corners that can give spectacular pictures.
The apartment of my friend Roberto in Brescia is one of these locations, and I've worked there many times with Martina, and once with Jiulia (in this photo).
You don't just bu...
The shooting with Cristiana ere becoming enough to justify the numbering of them, to understand the correct sequence and understand the development of this young lady.
This was shooting number 3 (of 5), in Gallarate.

Where do i find my models?
Wherever I can.
Today I was browsing on Instagram and found Annalisa on the profile of another photographer, all dressed up.
Close by a photo of another model, just a tight BW portrait, but she was clearly nude.
She had a beautiful face, and exotic.
Fortunately she was tagged, so I...
Borrowing the definitions of a naturist friend of mine on Flickr, I could define my photography as "casual, non-sexual nudity", the depiction of "enjoying life without the restrictions of textiles".
This picture of Corine is the perfect example of this careless attitude towards nudity.
Will our society ever embrace t...

My first exposure to Martina's bottom was memorable, so much so that she managed to change my natural inclination towards this specific part of the female anatomy.
I was never obsessed by bottoms as most of the male population, until I met with Martina, and that changed everything.
Nowadays I pay much more attention to ...
I have managed to put another shooting with Cristiana under the belt.
I know I still have 2 I'm working on, but I find this fast growing little girl particularly interesting as a model.
She is becoming a woman, and it is fascinating to document this transformation.
As we are working frequently I felt the need to find...
Boobs in every woman are slightly different, and this is particularly evident when we are looking at a voluminous bosom like the one of Stefani.
It is not only the general dimension due to the position of the arms, but even the areola shape and size are different.
And this is what makes breasts so fascinating!
To ...

Tomorrow I will be shooting with Cristiana.
I can't resist using carpets whenever I find one, I prefer a carpet to a bed most of the times, because I can take the picture right from the top (in this case I was also using a ladder).
I'm still trying to find a new way to represent Cristiana during this shooting, will I...

Prices of petrol are rising in Italy, even more because of the war between Russia and Ukraine, so also the filler cap on the Seven you can see on the right hand side must stay closed as much as possible!
Fortunately, we can still buy petrol, even if it is expensive, but Bianca, regardless of the price, is not going to make...
Martina checking if she looks good in the mirror, I'd say she should not worry about that...
Not our best shooting for sure, but I can still find some gems in the folder on my Archives, like the pictures in which she is wearing glasses!

My additional light was constantly on for the whole shooting with Annalisa.
I found it particularly useful in cases like this, to reduce the contrast between exterior light and backlit model, and keeping most of the curtain details intact, even if it was creating new shadows on the Annalisa.
Also the daylight temperatur...
Not my fault if Cristiana has forgotten about closing the bathroom door...
Actually, with Cristiana the door is always opened, and she is frequently coming back to Milano and always willing to work with me.
Even if I'm still retouching our last 2 shootings, and they are not safely stored in my Archives yet, I couldn't s...
Most of my pictures are made with a vertical orientation of the camera which, in technical terms is called "portrait" mode.
That's because portraits (and nudes) photography is generally of someone standing vertical.
As opposed to that, horizontal orientation is called "landscape" because it is more suited to this kind o...
First picture from this sequence of Martina on the chair, but there are no false starts with this model and this photo is just as good as all the others.
Of course you could verify this only by looking through my Archives...
Shot on my trusty Leica M240 with the Summicron-M 50mm: the three of us always managed to work ...
Natural light coming from a distant window can give some problems, one is that the light reflecting from the floor tends to degrade towards the face of the model.
Generally this is not very good, and I tend to use the graduated filter function on Lightroom to compensate for the uneven light on the model.
In this particu...
In this picture, with this blond hair, Cristiana reminds about a movie star.
Every shooting we made, she looked slightly different, as if she is still searching for her style, or her identity.
I love the idea of participating in this search with her.

I know that, with some editing, I could get rid of the creases on the white blanket, to make this photo more appealing.
But that is not what I'm after.
I think my pictures are special because you see things as they really are.
Little make-up, no extensive editing, no tricks.
Lot's of you are happy to see the girls...
It was such a long time I hadn't driven my Seven I almost forgot how well it performs compared with my everyday drive, the 1992 NA MX5 Miata.
I took the Caterham for a spin on Friday night and it is much more frantic, so you really have to pay attention to what you're doing all the time.
Both cars have a 1.6 litre engin...
The set I introduced yesterday was created in the small entrance of her apartment, and I placed her on a stool to isolate more the body from the surroundings.
To isolate Annalisa even more, I played with my new LED spotlight, pointed directly on the model from the left.
The small room helped containing the artificial li...
When you work in a small apartment, you have to create as many different sets as possible to obtain variety in the images with the few things available.
In the house of Annalisa I had two large windows, but they looked similar and gave similar results so, with this sequence of pictures I really wanted to try something comp...
Cristiana is capable of some unexpected and funny expressions, and you're never going to know what caused them, but we don't care, it is just her way to be cute.
We really wanted to have some loud and messy background in this series of images...

I'm afraid we're never going to see another shooting of Bianca like this one.
I was texting with her some days ago and she was telling me that her new job has changed things and she is still modelling but in a much more squeamish way.
So much so, that I don't think I will work again with her.
What a shame that such a...
A photo from our last shooting together (for the moment!)
Will I find any changes in my favourite model when we manage to shoot once more (presumably during the Month of March)?
Possibly so, after nearly one year spent apart I expect some evolutions, possibly a slightly different hairstyle, but no more tattoos.
I gue...
Currently retouching this shooting of Stella, and enjoying her beauty.
She is so different from most of my other models, and this is exactly what I like to document with my work, the various shapes of beauty.

Not sure why, but Cristiana appears to inspire me to use these 2 elements in most of our shootings.
The bathrooms have been used whenever they looked good enough, and the bindings have been of different nature on 3 of our 4 shootings.
During our first encounter, the 2 elements were present combined in the same pictures,...
I promised you to show you the kitten of Annalisa, and here she is.
These beautiful creatures I work with have a private life, and I get in contact with it particularly when I have the chance to shoot in their own houses.
In this case I met her cat, Minou, young female kitten with a lot of health problems.
Minou is a...
