M.16

Here we are again with our Friday appointment with Martina, from our shooting number 16, the last to reach Archives completed.
4 are still waiting my attention, but I have no hurry to finish them, I will keep them as bottles of Single Malt Scotch Whisky, to sip with moderation and appreciate fully.

2 more photos of Martina later today on my regular social media feed and on DA Subscriptions.

Revealing just to you.

As time passes, I forget all the details about each shooting, and Claudia was from back in August 2022.
But what I can't forget is how shocked I was when I saw her nude for the first time, as she came out from the bathroom, even if I'm not a fan of retouched bodies.
She definitely was impressive in real life, and I hope you will feel the same sensation while looking at my pictures of her, as if you were there with us, and with this light shaping her volumes.

Familiar place.

I may be going back in this apartment of my friend photographer in Brescia soon, for a new model, if we reach an agreement...
I will surely like to do it, because I always liked this apartment, not sure if it is the memories linked to this place or the place itself, but I know my way around and can shoot some great pictures there, hoping not to repeat myself.

Doing what I can.

Went to Torino on Saturday, just for tourism, and it was interesting to see it, but I did manage to work on my #BramleyApple project on the Italo train both ways.
On Sunday I was back to work on my pictures, to prepare some posts scheduled on Patreon, like this one of Lauretta.
There is no pause to my nude photography, because i enjoy doing it, and I never want to stop!

The best tool for the job.

Now that I have some demanding cameras, I should always take an easy body like this Leica SL2-S, to grab some quicker snaps when I need to work fast.
It is not enough to have the best tools in the craft, you also have to select the best ones for each job.

Best tattoos.

The extra post on Thursday about Paulinepastel was unintentional, I was supposed to schedule it for Sunday, but sometime I get it wrong and I pushed it out whilst working on it...
No big deal, you just got one more post for free.

So for Sunday I decided to show you a new side of Stelladiplastica, in particular a tattoo I may have never showed you before, one that I surely didn't remember well myself, the skull on her left butt cheek.
I know she is not one of the most appreciated m...

Monochrom Saturday.

This is the market inside the abandoned asylum, Ex Manicomio di Monbello.
And here Maria and I found this shopping trolley skeleton, burned down to its metal core, probably coming from a modern shopping center nearby, and we decided to play with it.
We have a long sequence of these photos, some in color from the Fujifilm GFX, and some in BW from the Leica M10M.
As today is Saturday, I will start from 2 Monochrom files and, for Patreon, I've chosen this pin up lookalike housewife from...

M.07

Shooting number 7 took place in a swinger club, that offered a lot of interesting corners to work in.
But the specific place is irrelevant, and also the velvet on this couch is just fading away in the background, the only thing that matters in this photo is the skin color of Martina.

Elegant nude.

Elegance has little to do with what a woman is wearing, and the most elegant models I've come across in my work were more elegant when completely n4ked.
Paulinepastel is a clear example of how elegant a nude body can be, with no effort to seduce and in the most basic surroundings.

Embarrassing quality.

The Fujifilm GFX 50S II with "Martin" (the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase) is creating some huge problems!
The files it produces are too big and I have problems sharing the photos with models, or on social media: this is embarrassing most of the time...
What is not embarrassing is the quality of the files, and I even like how the far edges of the frame go wild because the lens was not intended for such a large format, so it is bett...

Industrial design.

I love how this abandoned factory is in stark contrast with the nude body of Ania.
She would look out of place even in a functioning factory like the one where I work every day, I'm used to see my female colleagues wearing neutral accident prevention clothes, devoid of any gender specific attributes.
But to see her without any clothes at all, wearing just her Birthday suit, which is the most feminine appearance she could possibly display, and in a factory that has lost its function a lo...

Vintage.

This apartment in Milano, inside the Navigli area, was full of vintage stuff, like this old graphic that really excites fond memories in the brains of any Italian, especially with the Totocalcio sticker on the lower right corner of the picture, which refers to the football pool of that period.
If you are not Italian, I bet you can still find this photo interesting, though, thanks to the vintage look of Cristiana.

A dream come true.

Now that I have finished an important shooting, it's time to extract some photos from other sets.
This is the greatest hits MetArt model Hilary C. from April 2024.
This model has a dream body and really knows how to pose...
I hope I can afford to shoot again with her in 2026, with the 2 new cameras!
For the moment, do not miss the other 2 photos of her coming out later today on my regular social media feed, and on DA Subscriptions, because also the Leica SL2-S did a great job wit...

Cold kitchen.

June 2024, with Sugar, in an abandoned restaurant very near where I live.
The kitchen was very cold and with high humidity, that's why Sugar is showing goosebumps.
The flashlight freezes the pose with plenty of details from the 36MP sensor of the Nikon D810.

Monochrom Saturday.

After the Advent Calendar, no more pictures of Lia have been released, so it is a good idea to dedicate to her one Monochrom Saturday.
I've not done many photos with the new (to me) Leica M10 Monochrom + Summicron-M 50mm lens during this problematic shooting, and in the worst lightning conditions, but these are exactly the condition that make this camera shine the brightest.

I'm not a religious person, and I've always been against catholic religion in particular Bec cause it was forc...

M.05.

The thick bush Martina has been sporting for most of her career is a sign of her wild nature and, with time, has managed to convince most detractors of hairy women.
Personally, I always find it charming, especially with her tattoo that appears to be interacting with this natural ornamentation.
In this garden gone wild with natural growth of grass, it is making even more sense to see Martina in her natural state.

Brick wall.

The shooting with Maria (first one of the 3 in August) is finally finished!
It is now saved on multiple hard drives for long term storage, and is currently uploading on my Archives.

Ok, so now I have to prove the statement about the quality of pictures that is slowing me down so much, and I hope you can spot the effects of such quality in this picture, or in the other 2 I will post today.

This photo and the one on my regular social media were shot on the Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "...

Infinite tonal range.

Barbora in her Italian house with my Leica M10 Monochrom, August 2025.
1 more picture of these 2 beauties together today on my regular social media feed.

This picture was shot 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).
I was telling you the highest quality of both these new cameras, the one I was using to shoot and the one I was using as prop, are making my work slower, but they are also cha...

Changing apartments.

May 2021, in Gallarate with Cristiana.
3 photos from this shooting today (check out also my regular social media feed and DA Subscriptions, albeit one has been out on Patreon before), all in the bathroom of the house of a fellow photographer she was staying in.
It is always convenient for me to explore a new apartment, and take advantage of all the exclusive opportunities it offers.
If I had a studio I could make some stunning pictures, but they will all end up looking the same, whil...

Upside down portrait.

For Monday I wanted to choose one of the strange photos I do, but I rarely post.
I tend to post always the same kind of frames, the ones I believe are most effective, but I is also important to search for the less obvious, from time to time, and give you also new point of views on beauty.

Slightly late.

The work on Maria in the Asylum is becoming longer than expected, but I'm really close to finish now.
I'm refining every single photo to get the maximum quality, and I even forgot to schedule the daily photo on Patreon!
But here am I, with a photo of Bianca to ask for forgiveness.

And now back to work, and let's see if I manage to finish Maria's shooting...

Saving up for an interesting 2026.

I am still working on the first August shooting with Maria, in the abandoned asylum, it is taking longer than expected, but the photos are stunning from both of the 2 newest cameras, and I don't want to screw it up in any way!

2025 has been an year of 3 new cameras, and 1 special lens, but in 2026 I'm not planning to buy anything else (apart from a remote trigger for my Profoto flash to use it with Fujifilm cameras I ordered few days ago).
And this is a relief, because I can save up ...

M.10

You all know Martina so well, it is useless to call her by name any more, especially on regular social media.
So, from now on, I'm going to use a code starting with M + . + the number of the shooting (from 01 to 20).

Today's photo, for example, is from shooting number 10, on June 2020.
This shooting is also known as the forgotten lens shooting because I used some pieces of glass I rarely used before or after this occasion, especially for nudes.
We didn't shoot many photos in th...

Studio light.

Working in a studio with proper lights (even just one like in this case) is a great privilege and a welcome innovation, and yet I would not want all of my pictures to look like the 3 of Ary I've selected for today.
Even if quality and control are maximum in such conditions, I feel some of the spontaneity is going lost, and I still prefer a cosy apartment, or a neutral hotel room, or a natural surrounding, or a derelict place.
But, for a change, it is good to have also some photos with a...

Never give up!

Not sure how can Sophy be so beautiful, maybe it is us men that are programmed to be attracted by young women, whatever the reason, she is one of the most perfect model I've ever seen.
On the day we met, everything was going wrong, and we were on the point of cancelling, but I insisted and paid for another room in the same hotel just to work with her, because when I saw her in the hotel lobby I was so mesmerized that I couldn't give up!
And now I'm not thinking about all the problems of...

Closing doors.

BentBox is becoming increasingly greedy.
Not only it gets a huge mark up on every sale, but they are also telling me I have already too many boxes and to upload more I have to go pro and pay a monthly fee if I want to add more.
This would mean getting fully invested into their system, trying to push the content on their platform as much as possible to justify the expenses, but I don't think it is fair to push such an expensive option to buy my content.
It was an alternative for the p...

Leaning in.

I frequently ask my models to climb upon a table, to get a more favorable point of view and give them a better looking figure.
I learned with time it is always better to stay lower than my models...
It worked also with Cara, and I like the pose as she is leaning in, as if to understand better what I was saying to her.
