If you want to make this kind of pictures it's easy!
This was shot on the Fujifilm X100V, a good quality point and shoot, fixed lens camera.
I wanted to reproduce the carefree experience of the old Polaroid formula.
In case you want to try yourself, just remember to take with you the most important ingredient: Lin...

During this shooting I was inaugurating a lens that soon became one of my favourite, actually the new standard glass that took over the role of the Leica Summicron-M 50mm.
Thanks to the mirrorless technology of the Panasonic Lumix S1 and its focusing aids, I felt brave enough to buy a f 1.4 lens for the first time in my li...
I've finally exported the pictures of Stella from Lightroom and started the long retouching phase.
She is like a ghost, her skin is so light in color I'm always afraid of leaving the photos too bright.
But in the end, her presence is always strong and memorable, like in this picture.

I was about to prepare this picture to post it on regular social media, but I remembered that Cristiana is an exclusive Patreon model at the moment... so I will have to post it here and help it is not Too Hot For Patreon!
All of this shooting was made with the VoigtlΓ€nder Nokton 58mm f1.4 SL II lens, and also in this phot...
Somebody was asking to have a good look at the front of this new model, so I selected a picture to show you just that.
During this entire shooting I used a new LED spotlight to help the natural light from the windows, this time one using a battery (to avoid the flickering effect I have experienced with the previous one)...

I'm always aware of whatever is hanging between the legs of my models, because it can be mistaken for a male attribute and spoil the feminine appeal of the body.
In this case, fortunately, it is clear it's just the hand of Martina we are spotting between her legs and, by now, we are positive she has a standard female body!...
Finally I managed to make a new shooting, the last one was on December 5th, so long ago!
But I guess this new shooting will change everything, also because Annalisa is a good friend of another model I was trying to work with, and she might manage to unlock that shooting as well...
Back to Annalisa, my new muse.
The title is somewhat misleading, I don't want to be separated from such a lovely subject as Cristiana. The separation I search for is between the model and the background (the kitchen in this case). The Leica Summicron is doing a good job in blurring the background and making the body of Cristiana even more prominent inside ...

This is the highly tuned body of Stelladiplastica.
She has always been a dancer and an artist all round.
And the tattoos have transformed her entire body in a canvas.
Check out also the hard working skin on her feet (and this was after some months of pause from the dancing due to Covid).
I wonder if feet fetish pe...
Martina looks like a teacher with her glasses on.
But, if I had teachers like her, I would have probably studied much more, possibly asking for private lessons... or less to remain in the same class every year!
Have you ever had such a good looking teacher?

Let's take a different view on Slim's tattoos.
She was on her knees on a glass table, near a big window.
If you use natural light well (and you have enough to play with) you can get better results than with studio flashes, a more natural look.
If you want to learn more about the Bramley Apple Project or <...

What really matters is what's happening ON the couch, non in front of it...
In this Milan apartment there where 2 couches actually, good for offering variety to my pictures, but an overkill for living inside this room.
I guess one could be used for relaxing and the other for ...
I've published already 23 pictures of Stefani, according to the tags, plus all the ones I've published elsewhere between December 2017 and now.
But there are still plenty that have never been published!
Maybe these pictures are not so varied, because the apartment was just a single room, and a very small one!
But the...
You rarely see such a sight in a kitchen, so you have to thank the wicked mind of Bramley Apple that always wants to place the naked models in every room of the house.
If you think about it, Martina is not out of place in a kitchen, because she is capable of waking up your appetite on so many levels...
If you want...

This picture of a pensive Linda allow us to appreciate her backside, not only the bottom, but also the back itself, a healthy and toned back.
Apparently she is into fitness: even if she is still very young, she still wants to improve what nature already lavished upon her.
All we have to do is admire this beautiful body....
A low terrace in Gallarate center is necessarily exposed to onlooking condos, there is no second guess about that.
Maybe not from the side of the plants, but behind my back I had a lot more palaces with infinite windows oriented in the direction of Cristiana.
We kept it brief and quick, but I'm pretty sure some people g...
Don't tell me the camera you use makes no difference, because it is not true.
This photo is a good example.
I used the (quality point and shoot) Fujufilm X100V to try and give a "Polaroid" instant photo look, less technical and refined, complete with an underestimated flash of light to make everything even more over the...
Does staying nude makes you nervous?
Apparently nudity does not effect Martina at all, and she feels perfectly at ease in her Birthday suit.
This is one of the reasons that makes her my favourite model: if your aim is to normalise nudity, you better find a model that really feels confident in her skin, and very few m...

Surfing is an old concept, now the couch has to be ridden.
I'm back working on my last shooting with Stella, this amazing blonde model.
I'm glad to do it because I need data and impressions about the new Leica SL2s pared with the Summicron lenses before I make new shootings with it.
The results are very pleasing, and...
Light is a mystery.
Photographers should know it and master it, but sometimes even them are surprised by photos that overturn the rules and still look good.
This one is an example, where the shadows are more meaningful than the lighted parts.
Our eyes are trained to look the light parts before, and for this reason yo...
Yesterday I had my third vaccine dose, so today I might feel a little sick.
Fortunately with Patreon I can schedule the posts for the following days, and you are not going to miss a single one (actually the past Tuesday you got 2 photos because I got the days wrong π).
So don't worry about my fever and concentrate...

One of my Friends was looking into my Archives some days ago, and he found a particular photo of Martina that really grabbed his attention.
I decided to show this previously unreleased picture also to all my Patrons.
This is probably not a picture I would have selected myself, because of the slight tilt, and the unusual...
Nudism and naturism are a way of life.
I'm not particularly into these lifestyles, but I always wish pretti girls to embrace these way of thinking.
How much easier would my hobby become if I could just tell a regular girl with no modelling experience to pose as if she was with her nudist friends.
This should feel nat...
Cristiana was one of the models with whom i have tried the mighty Nikon 180mm f2.8 ED AI-s, one of my longest focal lengths, that needs plenty of space to operate properly.
For this photo you can see a relaxed Cristiana, but I was in the other room pressed on the furthest wall.
Not the ideal lens for indoor portraits...
When you shoot in a small apartment, you might have to do with only one source of natural light, only one window to play with.
Even so, this could give you direct and front light on your subject, side lightning, or backlight like in this case.
What is important, is to always try to make your subject stand out.
It ...
This is how Martina uses the hand-bra pose, hiding the breast, but leaving everything else exposed.
You can tell she is not much concerned about hiding her nudity, it is just a game she wants to play.

I know I was nasty to my new favourite tool a few days ago, showing you a picture of Cristiana shot at 12,500 ISO.
I was arguing that even with all the latest technologies distilled inside the backside illuminated sensor, without any noise reduction applied, the files are not very good.
So today I want to make amends...

I referred to these wooden panels in Merate as my Saudek wall, because I've already placed some models in front of it, and more will be, as long as I have access to this house.
But I also like to try new locations, to add variety in your daily timeline.
January has been a sad Month, with no shooting in sight, yet.
What a splendid apartment was this in Milano.
A vast terrace with a beautiful view on the City.
When you turn around, you can see the bedroom, with Martina naked inside.
After that you're just going to forget about Milano and focus on Martina alone...
This picture was taken exactly from the terrace, looking in ...

Apparently there are 2 more lenses on the way, another gift from a follower, both Canon FD, 20mm and 135mm.
The 135mm is the more useful for my photography, even if I have already 3 examples of this focal length.
Like the SMC Pentax-M 135mm f3.5 that took this picture, this lens was the first and only lens donated by a ...
