During these days of shooting (this is the first one of 4 consecutive), I am supposed to post teasers about what we are doing with the 2 models, but it is unlikely I will have time to do it as usual.
I will try, but having more shootings the day After, it is good enough if I manage to download safely the photos and recharg...
I was surprised about how good these files of Dovile were to work on, until I realized they were shot on the Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "Martin" (the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase).
It is incredible how malleable these files are, and how much details the medium format pro...
This shot of Barbora with the Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "Martin" (the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase), was the first I took of her, and I had the time to set up a specific corner of the apartment whilst she was undressing.
I know the white balance is way too far on the wa...
During our first encounter in a claustrophobic hotel room in Bergamo, I was overwhelmed by the sensuality of Maria, and got distracted by her enthusiasm and willingness.
Spoiled by choice, I was acting more like a kid in a candy store, than like a professional photographer knowing what he was doing.
I was also making my...
September 2023, one of the shootings of Martina I'm still working on, in a Milan apartment we used twice, but had plenty of interesting tips for shooting.
This was the furniture in the bedroom, giving an original background to the picture, with a lamp and the door in the foreground.
It always work well to have elements ...
High contrasts make photos very interesting, but you still have to be careful not to blow out the highlights.
The darker skin of Sugar is less prone to do that, but a white lady could be more susceptible to getting out of control.
Contrasts in light may help isolating the subject of the photo even more than the out of f...
Shooting with a rangefinder Leica is not easy, you have to get used to it, and the nearest you're focusing, the easier it is to cut out fundamental limbs from the model.
But what you get in exchange is a unique experience, great performances of the viewfinder in bright sunshine, and the quality of this Summicron-M 50mm at ...
Cutting one of the boobs of Mary out of the frame should be considered a cardinal sin, but no lightning has struck me while I was shooting, nor while editing or posting the photo on Patreon for my Community only...

Partly because of her young age, and partly because of her lack of experience, Anna was not able to move her body with the efficacy of, let's say, a model like Martina, but it is this very same inexperience that makes her so cute.
She was attentive and eager to please, learning the dynamics involved in a profession she aba...
Monday I finished extracting the photos of Elfa from our shooting in the Ex Manicomio di Monbello, with the new workflow that is the last phase, because the retouching is happening inside Lightroom.
So now I've saved all the copies and uploaded on Archives.
This shooting with an outstanding beauty like Elfa, and with...

Towards the end of the week, I will go on a true holiday for a couple of nights, so on regular social media I will skip a couple of posts, but don't worry, because Patreon and DA Subscriptions are not going going to be affected, and I'm already setting up the posts to be deployed automatically.
I think my subscribers de...

I got back some money I had lent many years ago.
I knew I was going to get it back, so I never tried to accelerate the process, but I had no idea when that was going to happen.
It was finally given back to me last week, with no interests or anything else, but that’s all right, because it was never supposed to be a spe...
Ania in Consonno has been a magical experience I will never forget, even if I have a terrible memory, but I will be helped by 354 photos + backstage videos.
I am sorry I'm not shooting the backstage videos any more, but they were creating more problems with the models than the photos themselves, and I was wasting too much ...
... as you, to find out how many stunning photos I still have from this shooting with Slim!
Maybe I was just keeping this one for later, and then forget about it, but I feel ashamed for having hidden such a gem from my Patrons for over 5 years!
On the other hand, I had posted only 36 photos of Slim on Patreon before ...

The house where I worked with Anastasia was messy, in every room, it must reflects the mind of the owner.
I say so because my house is the same, but I'm not shooting in it!
This mess is like the noise that is upsetting the main signal, in this case Anastasia's figure.
Fortunately the signal of Anastasia's beauty is s...
Lauretta might not have the sexiest body among my models, but it is one of the fittest, and she knows how to use it for maximum effect.
I love this backlit figure and I love Lauretta.
She did not come back, not yet, but we can still hope...

I have finished editing my first ever shooting in the Ex Manicomio di Monbello, the one with Elfa, to familiarize with the place before going back in August with Maria and Barbora.
I may be slow on so many old works, but somehow I rush some of the latest because I find them especially interesting for various reasons.

I know most of us are mesmerized by Martina's stare, in every single photo where she is looking in camera (or should I say at US?)
But she is not the only model that has a riveting look, confident and meaningful at the same time, Ada is another good example.
And yet her stare is something else from the best stares we kn...
Apparently, Monday turned out to be the day dedicated to Martina...
And here we are again.
June 2020 in Milano, between Covid lockdowns, in one of the best apartment I've ever seen in the city.
This encounter with Martina definitely gave me some hope everything was going to be fine once more!

I'm pretty sure this photo was left out from all posts concerning the female anatomy lessons from Ania, both from the ones posted on Patreon, and well as on regular social media.
So it's time to show it here!
You better check out Ania's collection if you need to refresh your mind on the basics, because you never know...

My daily job in an assembly line is giving me a strange perception of time: while days are passing very slowly, especially as the week goes on; weeks and months are flying past without me even noticing.
Add to that my bad memory, and you understand why I'm so keen on photography in the first place, as a tool to help me rem...
Another nice cup of tea with Cristiana from our last shooting in March 2022.
We all learned to love this model in the past years, and we still love every new photo I'm pushing out.
Today one more photo of Cristiana on DA Subscriptions.
Cheers!

My posting of models everywhere is more or less random.
I have some kind of method, I try to post the same model in 3 different places on the same day, and I choose also considering if I have the time to extract photos from sets I'm still working on, or I can save time picking something from the Archives.

Today, on my regular social media, I will post a teaser about this picture of £lisandra shot in Consonno.
There I will post a photo of her back, inviting people check her identity on Patreon.
Clearly you will have seen this photo hours before, so you're not eligible to reply or to make spoilers about her identity.
This is the number of photos present in Paulinepastel's album on my Archives (selected, processed and retouched), if you take out the BW versions, it is still a huge number of 343 color photos, but I was unable to discard more images from this set, because of how beautiful they are.
Here is one shot on the Nikon D810, and ...
Glasses and a view on Metropolis.
This is my least favorite shooting with Martina, but there are still many interesting and unique aspects that makes it special.
It is the only time I asked Martina to wear her glasses, and I'm delighted for having done so.

Another burglar has stolen a photo from Patreon, this time of Sugar, and post it on his own profile, modified as his own (see bonus photo in this post).
Maybe I'm not saying this enough on Patreon, because I assume people ready to support a creator are also capable of respecting basic rules, but maybe it is better to start...
Anna has been a fast moving object on our radar, and then disappeared from the nude scene, thank god we manage to get a glimpse of her beauty before it was too late!
I love the confidence she was boasting while still being relatively inexperienced.
On the one hand I would be happy to find new unknown models in the futur...
Some models can transcend the rules of lightning, receive it from the wrong directions, and still look awesome.
Sophy is definitely one of these models, and this photo is a clear example of the concept.
In many occasion I don't have the luxury to dispose of the ideal lightning in a hotel room, not even when I bring addi...
Finding such a background in an apartment is a godsend, it is not exactly like shooting in a forest, but it offers the variety of situations that makes the shooting more interesting for a much longer period of time.
