This is not the first photo of Martina we see on Patreon or elsewhere, but it is important for me because it is recent, coming from our last shooting (number 18) on September 2023.
This implies 2 things:
1) she is still as beautiful as ever
2) I've finished extracting the jpeg files from Anna R. set and I took some time to pick some random photos from the shootings still lingering inside Lightroom.
That's why this is the ideal photo to start 2024 on a high note: I promise yo...

I am managing to catch up with some of the left over work during the holidays, and now I'm picking some random photos from some old sets, this is Denise, back in August 2022.

One of my Patron asked for more photos of Kiki, so I scheduled one for today.
He really likes the figure study photos from the beginning of the last Century, and Kiki is the model that reminds us more about that period.
One thing's for sure, he is not the only one here that feels a special attraction towards this Kiki!

If there is a model that is always looking cool, that must be Martina.
Whatever she is (not) wearing she always look confident and at ease.
I love when the color of her hair matches the color of her lower hair...
This photo was taken during our 13th shooting, on February 2021.

£lisandra owned Consonno as if it was her own house in the pictures we took there.
Of course in real life she was embarrassed by the people passing by in many occasions, but she stood up to the challenge!
Ania is much more used to walking around naked in big and populated cities (last NIP video I saw on her X profile was staged in Berlin), but £lisandra is probably the second or third best amongh my models.
It is a talent in its own, and very few models are capable of handling the ...

Linda is still one of the exclusive models on Patreon.
This was a measure I had to take when Patreon asked for additional documents from every model to appear on the platform.
From that moment I had to ask older models to provide these additional documents (most were not interested in doing so), and maximise the new models coming in from then onwards (because they were asked to provide these additional documents right from the start).
This was going to be a temporary measure to in...

Anna R. is Italian, from Verona like Giulietta, and she is a genuine product of this special country, similar to the mozzarella cheese.
And when you come across an example of this cheese that is really handmade with great quality milk you have to respect its integrity and savour the unique taste without contaminating it with bread, or olive oil or tomatoes.
In the same way I've tried to leave the skin of Anna as natural as possible, without make up while shooting and without too m...

I don't need a Christmas present, because I have already so many things!
Sometimes it is just a matter of rediscovering the things you already have and you have been neglecting.
During these holidays, for example, I will be using mainly my Caterham Seven to move around, and I will enjoy every mile.
Under the Christmas tree of my Patrons, instead, I want to rediscover with them the incredible Bianca, which is still an exclusive Patreon model, and we're not looking at enough...

Light is a quirky element in photography, bouncing around everywhere and getting a different color from every surface it touches.
But when it hits the body of Karina, the light is unable to let go of her, it does not bounce any more, it just sticks to her skin, leaving some interesting areas of shadow just as interesting.
Also our gaze is unable to leave the body of Karina, and our mind to forget her.

I really have my work cut out for these holidays!
Starting today.
The main objective is going to be working on the nude photos, from extracting the newest shooting of Anna R. to keep on retouching the one of Mary, and possibly salvaging some random pictures from the shootings still awaiting, including some of Martina, which has 4 sets on hold!!!!
But I also need some time to carry on a new project, something unrelated to nudes but that can attract new people towards my work fro...

In places like Consonno, it is a good idea to take some steps back and take in the wider picture, the subject becomes an intermediate plane together with the painted wall, on the left a passage to the background, and on the right another wall in the foreground.
I love how my models interact with this kind of landscapes, and I love running around them with my camera to document this interaction, whilst asking them to keep still.

Always good to get back in this bathroom with Cristiana.
This shooting is still in the retouching phase so, whenever I need a photo I have to search for the ones I've not retouched yet, and prepare one for the next post.
This way I'm pretty sure you've never seen the photo before (as it was still untouched) and I spend some time with Cristiana before posting the photo.
I like this process, at least as much as you like looking at the final product coming through your daily mail.

Many models are asking me what I want them to wear for the shooting, Quinn in particular was travelling with a lot of fancy dresses but, once more, I had to explain I don't want to cover the beauty of my models with any piece of cloth, that I want them to wear only their Birthday suits!
I'm alway sorry to make all of their efforts useless, at least in this case you can see her wardrobe in the background and foreground...

Martina is a great pro model, when she's been asked to stand at attention she does not question anything, she just obeys, and she looks beautiful whatever you ask her to do.

Sophy is not a woman, she is a map to find joy.
I can loose myself in this photo for hours and bask in the details of her soft skin, between the cold and hot lights, the glossy reflections on her forehead and shoulder, or the matt surface of her nipple or the veins on the neck; she is a living and breathing wonder.
It has been a great privilege to work with such a beauty, and I hope to do it again in the future!

Nearly one whole year from this shooting with Annalisa, and she was asking me if I had finished to work on the pictures after all this time...
Actually I did very few, and I have send them all to her.
It was time to make a new one and send it together with the others to Annalisa, and post it on Patreon for all of you.

I prefer to leave some more air around my models, to let them breath.
But sometimes I happen to cut the frame really tight around my model...
This time I've really gone too far, with the frame as well as with the logo, but the hands are fine, only just.
I need to accept some small glitches in my work, because perfection is the most boring thing of all, but also this time I got away with it, until the next time...

There is a specific type of pasta in Italy, egg noodles to be more specific, that is called "angel's hair" (capelli d'angelo).
The backlighted hair fluctuating on the face of Ania in this photo reminds me about what must have suggested this poetic name for the pasta, because she really looks like a blonde angel to me, and the version of the image where she has her eyes shut does even more to convey this idea (maybe I will post the other version on my regular social media feed in the future...

I had to create collections on Patreon to let you find the single models because I was not finding the hashtags any more in the menu to make a post.
Now I've found out the hashtags are still there (thanks to a Patron for that), they just got moved in a awkward place, not sure if I missed them in the past days or if they decided to reintroduce them, but there they are again!
So now you have 2 ways to browse past contents on Patreon, one with collections, and the other with hashtags, so y...

Rabbit is a delightful lady, and very good at posing.
She does prefer to be alone with the photographer, as I had the chance to verify in the naturist beach, but between us in Merate she has always been extremely self-confident, with no inhibitions.
She also has an interesting attitude for trying unusual poses whilst I'm fumbling around with my fancy long lenses like the Nikon 135mm f2 Defocus Control, that is blurring her hand in a magical way.
I'd say she deserves a medal, but she ...

Apparently, Patreon has removed the possibility to use hashtags to identify the models, or other characteristics of the photos I'm posting.
This sucks, and maybe I will have to experiment with collections and see if they can substitute hashtags at least to identify the models...

The Contax-Zeiss Sonnar T* 85mm f2.8 is a great lens, capable of making the background to fade away in a magical fog, and yet the factory is still legible.
Sugar might be squatting in this photo, but her stature is blown out of proportion by her attitude and her beauty, like a naked princess casually in a desolate place.
No retouching was needed for the princess in this specific image, nature was enough to make my post production work useless.

Beauty has no expiration date, and we can see old pictures from Playboy or even from the classic BW age of photography that appeal to our tastes as if they were contemporary ladies.
And this is what I like about full nudity, you can't place the photo in a specific point in time, if you don't have element as garments or furnishings or vehicles to date the scene.
Nevertheless, in the case of Kiki, I feel her body to carry a classic set of proportions, forms that reminds me about women ...

In 2020 I was still doing shootings in December, but the Winter season is not ideal because of the absence of light and the shivering ladies.
This has been one of the worst shooting I ever made with Martina and I tend to neglect it, because also the location was uninspiring, but whenever I post a photo coming from this set, it proves very successful.
So I decided to select a couple of random photos from this set and post them at the end of last week across my social media platforms (...
