Bramley Apple

Relax, you're on #BramleyApple camera.

I try to make my model feel at ease, and I try to make them act as casually as possible.
I spectacular poses, don't get me wrong, but I also love to pierce the professional suit of armour and try to make the model look spontaneous, as if she was alone with her boyfriend (or with herself).
In this case, Corine really fits the bill and looks confident and unarmed, which is a great achievement during the first 20 minutes from when we met for the first time...

You can't go wrong.

There is hardly a bad picture in Bianca's Album on my Archives, because the subject is really memorable and stunning.
I've chosen this for being one that I surely have not posted before.
Pity her breast is out of focus, but it is the price to pay for a peculiar and looking up point of view.
There are plenty of variations on the same themes in this Album because, when I was finding a good light or pose, I just had to get it right!
The end result is that whatever photo I chose from ...

Gracefulness degree.

Most of my models are graceful, but Annalisa has a special charm in this department, and she really looks like a work of art.
It is not the gracefulness of Karina, possibly a stronger flavour of gracefulness, but just as appealing.
The long hair is surely helping giving her this allure.

I the end, every model is graceful in her own way and we're lucky to experience such variety.

Hair up.

Martina with the hair up is a rare sight, I guess I value it as a sacrilege to hide her beautiful hair, and yet I like her also like this!
Some women suffer a lot by tying the hair and lose most of their charm, but Martina is showing even more her pretty face with no drawback whatsoever.

Upstairs.

You need bravery to explore an abandoned house, especially naked and unarmed, but Ania is a brave girl!
And here she is, climbing up a stair and listening for strange sounds...
Is anyone else in the house?

Unique.

I enjoyed this vegetal pattern on the wall of this Sesto San Giovanni apartment, it worked very well with the tattoos on Lauretta's body, and the only element that stands out in this composition is her dark hair.

There are many models that is unlikely I will work with again in the future, and Lauretta is one of them, but I'm very happy I had the chance to work with them at least that one time, because they are fundamental pieces of my project.
Variety is one of the main elements of m...

In plain sunlight.

Direct sunlight has the ability to show details in a hyper realistic way.
If you enlarge the phoenix tattoo in this photo, you will see it better than in almost any other previous picture of Martina, with nice pastel colours, just because it is hit by the direct sunlight.
Incidentally, also the eye of Martina is in perfect focus, and that is exactly what I was aiming at...

From the other side of the World.

Also AIM is coming up from Australia again, just like my Brother next week, but I declined working with her a second time.
Not that I didn't enjoy our first session together, on the contrary, I think she is a stellar model, but I need more versatility in the style of pictures I make these days, to have material suitable for all of my subscription based platforms.
Fortunately we made a huge number of photos during our first encounter, and we've just scratched the surface of this compelli...

Going on holiday soon.

From May 25th to June 2nd, I will have my older brother visiting from Australia.
We've not seen him since before Covid, and every time he comes might be the last he manages to make such a long trip, so I want to spend as much time with him as possible, and I took the entire week off work.

Don't worry, this is not going to be a problem on Patreon, because I can schedule the posts well in advance.
Also DA Secret Album should not be a problem, because I will surely find enough time t...

Talent show!

Martina's way of posing is always graceful and yet deliberate and purposeful.
This pose has no meaning at all, she's not pretending to do anything in particular, but it still looks a natural and comfortable position, and aesthetically pleasing.
I have no idea how she manages, but I'm glad she does!
Working with her, you just need to compose the frame to match her talent, that's all.

Archived!

Has been a long time since my last upload on Archives, but finally I finished to work on the shooting of Mary and she has been saved for posterity, all 820 photos (between color and BW).
She needed some retouching so she delayed all of my other works, but I hope now things can go back to a steady flow.
Still not sure which shooting is going to come next, but I would bet on Anna R. or Hilary C.
In the mean time, let's enjoy Mary and the photos I will post about her in the following m...

Intimidating.

I was trying to extract 3 photos from my shooting with Hilary C, but I was too intimidated by her beauty to do it!
Far too many great photos and I was spoiled by choice, I couldn't bring myself to select 3 pictures, so I chose only one for my Patrons, this tender portrait with her vanquishing smile, my idea of an angel welcoming me into paradise.
Maybe it was just how I felt that day, I will definitely try again to select multiple photos from this set, but it has been a monumental shoot...

Our first time.

Last photo of Ania near the chimney in the house of Merate, before we tackled the basement with my red Mazda MX5 parked inside.
First I always wanted to explore the first floor in this house, so the feet of my models could stay reasonably clean as long as possible, because after the basement and garden, the soles of my models turned up really dirty.

This was my first shooting with Ania, and the work I have to do on it is still very long, fortunately I can fish out a picture occasiona...

Turning on the light is not always a good idea.

Light was fading fast in that afternoon, and we had just finished a long sequence on this chair by the window.
I tried to put on the light to see if we could carry on this sequence on the chair a little longer, but this has been the only photo I shot, because I was unhappy about the result: the magic of the natural light was broken.
So I decided to change corner of the room to maximise the artificial light.

As last picture in this post, I'm posting the last one I shot with the nat...

Golden carpet.

Flying carpets are present in many fairy tales, and one with this golden color could illustrate well one of those tales, especially with a princess like Cristiana lying on it.
Fasten the seatbelts of your fantasy, and get ready for take off.

Let's do some stretching.

I like to make compositions with a blurred foreground, so out of focus that you can't fathom what it is... I believe it helps in creating depth inside the picture, and guides the observer towards the main subject, in this case a stretching Rabbit.
By the way, the out of focus object in front are two branches of an olive tree.
The only element out of context in this rural setting is the collar Rabbit is casually wearing, but this stranger element is adding even more interest to the imag...

Today is dedicated to Chiara.

On this Tuesday I'm going to post 3 photos of Chiara Kia.
- One full frontal on Patreon.
- One full figure seated on the bed acting as an abandoned lover on my regular open access social media feed.
- One full figure in the shower on my DA secret Album, accessible through subscriptions.

Credible portrait.

Sometimes we deserve a simple portrait of Martina, with the naked breast, of course, but no more to be seen.
The intensity of her eyes, the texture of her skin with plenty of freckles, how more interesting is this kind of realistic photo compared to highly retouched ads, or unbelievably smooth AI generated crap?

Morning prayer.

This pose is just a pretence to display the perfect backside of Karina, but she looks like praying in front of the open window, to propitiate the forces of nature for the day to come.
By the way, she has adorable feet, do you agree?

Our secrets.

Jiulia is proudly showing us a very special kind of jewellery, the kind of jewellery you should wear only when naked and with very intimate friends.
And this is what my community of Patrons is for my models, intimate friends that are allowed to share secrets...
Like where are the keys for the handcuffs?

Free to create.

The writing beneath the feet of Martina means "free house" in italian.
And this abandoned house in the village of Merate was indeed free to enter, so much so that too many of the wrong people were getting inside besides me and my models.
During my last inspection, I found too many signs of occupation to go back in this house with any other model.
Pity, because it was a good location, but safety comes first.

The moments I pass shooting with my models are truly magic and suspend...

A stage on the City.

There is more privacy on a 7th floor balcony in Milano than anywhere else, because people are mostly lazy and it is unlikely anyone ever looks up.
Pity, because Mary was at ease on this balcony, and confident enough to show her body to anyone willing to look, on three sides of the building, no less!

Vanishing point.

There is a magic position inside the backlight zone, where the model is going to vanish in the flare caused inside the lens by the light.
The color loses saturation and the crispness of the details is reduced, until the figure becomes a dreamy apparition.
And this treatment works very well with the 18 year old Anna.

Sure you've seen them all?

This is from my second shooting with Martina, in July 2018.
You would think I've shown you every single picture from this set by now, but I'm pretty sure we've just scratched the surface.
For example, I'm pretty sure you've never ever seen this specific photo from the balcony sequence...
If you think you have, prove me wrong, send me the link and I will show you 5 more photos from this set in one day!

Standing out.

Don't ask me how I choose the photos to show you each day, because it is embarrassing.
As soon as I see one that stands out to me from the folder in my Archives, I'm unable to carry on checking the others, I just HAVE to select it straight away.
For this reason, I always start searching the photos from a random point, sometimes from the first ones, sometimes from the last ones and sometimes from the middle.

What makes me feel a bit better is that I really can't make any wrong deci...

What's in the room?

My models are capable of looking in a boring laundry room and pretend they are looking at the most breathtaking of sunsets.
These performances are of great help for the photographer, albeit in this photo the acting skills of Anneth are a small portion of the general appeal...

Frame within frame.

The entrance of a house is always intriguing, especially with a naked lady in the frame.
We always ask ourselves what's going on.
If she is about to open the door for someone in that state and who could it be, or we imagine she's going to go out like that, forgetting about wearing a dress.
But the real truth is that the small apartments in Milan are never offering such a variety of suitable corners to shoot in, so the entrance is always a good idea, just to add an extra unique corner...

What is she doing?

It is easy for you Patrons to guess, because you can clearly see the brush in her hand but, for the ordinary followers looking at my regular social media feed later today, it is going to be much harder, because in their photo the brush is completely hidden behind Sophy...

Let the show begin.

AIM is an exceptional model, but I've posted only 4 photos of her on Patreon, so here is number 5.
She really know how to create drama in her poses, even with a basic curtain.
One more photo is getting out on my regular social media feed later today.

Wild charm.

I can clearly see which are the 3 top models among all of my Apples:
- Hilary C,
- Sophy
- and Martina, of course.

But it is Martina that possesses the strongest personality, the animal instinct, she is not only posing, she is also seducing.
And we are hopeless in front of her photos, mesmerised by her gaze, a prey resigned to his fate...

I still love most of my models for many reasons, but these are the top 3, and Martina is the highest on the food chain.
Do you...
