Bramley Apple

Regular beauty.

If you want superheroes and superstars, you can find them in the Hollywood movies.
My photography is supposed to show real examples of young ladies, embarrassed, slightly flawed, but totally sincere.
There is no corporation behind this girl telling her how to behave, no filter, just me and her, and my camera in between.
The girl is not trying to seduce you, she's just being herself, sometimes poked by my inputs, but always pretty genuine.

The exceptional thing about these portr...

Matching models with locations.

During my last photoshoot in Merate, the house looked colder than when I was there with Karina.
It is not just a matter of lower temperature, the real problem is the house has been cleaned out of most of the amenities that made it a real home.
That's why with Rabbit we concentrated mainly on the bedroom (still intact), basement and garden.

Karina looked better in a house cluttered with life and romantic objects, it is congenial to her sweet appearance.
I'm not sure if Karina wo...

Morning light.

This morning in Milano with Martina was magical.
Especially in photos, as you can't hear the noise of the trams outside the window.

But, if you close your ears and concentrate on the eyes alone, you'll only see the morning light painting beautiful shadows on Martina's body.

Dimples.

Also this week I'm having problems with the mobile connection that is allowing me to share my photos on regular social media during my lunch break at work.
So on Monday I didn't manage to share the first photo of Rabbit with my numerous followers.
I'm going to try again today, hoping that the connection is going to work.
In the mean time, you're going to get the third exclusive photo of this new model before everybody else gets to see the first one!

I've chosen this image shot ...

Getting undressed.

Rabbit, my new model from Saturday's shooting, is petite and with no inhibition whatsoever.
She was an ideal model for my project, because I was allowed to choose where to place the limits and yes, so you will also see her handcuffed, and with a collar... but in this photo I'm glad we can see her delicate neck so exposed, like for the kiss of a vampire.
She also obeyed to my pledge not to wear make-up, and I think she looks so much more authentic like this!

I'm very happy about th...

New #bramleyapple blossoming on the 🍏 tree…

My photoshoot with Rabbit yesterday went very well, at least for me.
The poor girl was horrified by the quantity of insects in the abandoned bedroom in the house of Merate (mainly harmless ladybugs), and uncomfortable for the cold inside the house.
The sun outside was not sufficient to heat up also the inside of the house, so we tried to compensate with a space heater wherever possible.
This way we managed to work in a good way.

We can take our time with Rabbit, as it is only S...

Good models.

How to define a good model should imply many factors.
She should be pretty, for sure, but it is not enough.
She should also know how to pose, and be herself, comfortable with her nudity.
And, of course, the chemistry between model and photographer is also important...

I'm currently negotiating with a French model to do a photoshoot towards the end of April, and she is advocating the whole morning together to reach the sufficient level of confidence to create our art together. 2023-03-31 07:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Toned down.

This light arrangement, together with the compression provided by the Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2, gave Karina an abstract look.

I'm not totally convinced by the pinkish color of the wall in the background, sometimes the Leica SL2-S is throwing me out of balance, that's why the monochrome version is the better one for me.
On the other hand, the skin and nipples color of Karina are nice in the main photo, and the contrasting hues gives the image an unreal appearance.
This was ...

In the bathroom.

Not sure why we hated so much to clean up back when we were kids, somehow it sounds a much more appealing prospect nowadays...

By the way, this Saturday I should be shooting with another new model, if it is not an April fool, and if she finds her way to Merate, we should be able to use the old location once again, before it is passed on to the new owners...
In fact, I will be trying to use it even more than once if I manage, and until the last minute available!

If you want to ...

Better late than never.

Daily post is 3 hours late today.
I know it is not essential to post every single day, but I think it is important to do it, at least on Patreon.
It is a way to show gratitude to my community for their help in supporting my project.
So, when I realised I didn't schedule today's post, I decided to do it later during the day.

I'm having problems with my connection in the last 2 days, but for the posts on the regular social media I'm not worried too much, I can skip that.
But P...

Fantasising.

It is unlikely the graffiti painter could ever imagine a beauty like £lisandra resting near this radiator, but that white hearth appears to be a genuine tribute nevertheless.
Sometimes reality can surpass the wildest fancy.

Penthouse.

The location I used with Sugar, along with all the new contacts in terms of models it might have provided, is no longer available, because me and the female owner of the place have different ideas concerning nudity...

Pity because it was a pleasant place and people, but it is not such a big problem as I was starting to build up too muck work in this year (7 of the 14 photoshoots I was supposed to do have already been done, and the hot season is starting just now!)
So this ban is goin...

Like in a vise.

I didn't forget about the photos I made with Linda using the Fujifilm X100V.
I'm trying to resist the temptation to use wide angles for my nudes, because longer lenses look more elegant.
But I had plenty of experience with the Leica M and the 35mm Summicron when I was younger, especially on film!
The X100V has a comparable focal length, and I always feel at home when I use it, so much so that even Linda was comfortable with this combination in front of her.
Are you hooked as well...

Brace yourself.

Seeing Martina is always a whirlpool of emotions, so it is not her to need a safety belt, but us.

Captive.

Who doesn't wear handcuffs on the sofa?
From our side, it is the eyes of Claudia that keep us riveted.

Follow your passions.

One of the longest lasting Patreon member informed me he was leaving the community.
But this time it was not for a sad reason, like a lost job, but for a happy reason instead.
He founded a good example of the motorcycle he desired so much when he was a teenager, and needs to devote is time and finances to this project.
I'm very happy for him and grateful for the contribution he made to my project so far.
Fortunately he's still going to be able to see the regular Bramley Apple feed...

Turning around the new Apple.

Distracted by this stunning 22 YO Dominican beauty, yesterday I forgot to relate to you about the location where we did out photoshoot.

It was an interesting place, with plenty of rooms, photographers, and naked models running around.
The ideal place to develop the Bramley Apple Project!
I will have to try to maintain the contact with my host, a former nude model herself, because she can provide me with more models (for artistic nude only), and she might even decide to pose for me...

NEW #BRAMLEYAPPLE BLOSSOMING ON THE 🍏 TREE…

Yesterday's model was this stunning 22 YO Dominican beauty, albeit she was born in Italy.

The model was working with me at the very limit of her comfort zone, so she asked not to be tagged in the photos, and we'll have to respect her privacy.
For this reason I will not share her real name, and she asked me to choose an alias for her, so we're going to call her Sugar. 

Today we're going to start with a backside picture, introducing this delicate creature, tomorrow another ...

Killer application.

Even a simple hotel room can do the trick, if the model is particularly pleasing.
Sophy is definitely going to shine everywhere you place her, and any portion of her body you're framing.

In video-games there is a frequently used term which is "killer application", it is a particular game that is so important to transcend the proprietary console; it is a case when the software becomes more important than the hardware itself.
In a similar way, having Sophy as a subject is so paramou...

Compression.

Light levels are increasing in this period, and I'm willing to try experimenting again with my fine quality longer lens...
This was the Nikon 180mm f2.8 ED AI-s, by the way.

On my backpack for Sunday's photoshoot I've loaded another one of the finest portrait lenses ever produced, the Nikon 135mm f2 Defocus Control.
I imagine that, in the location facility I'll be working in, I will have enough space to deploy its full potentials, and I'm pretty sure the new black model I'm going...

Happy ending.

I rarely post sequences of photos on Patreon, let alone 7 in a row, but this was a special occasion!

At the end of the photoshoot with the adorable Quinn Linden, I realised she hardly ever smiled during the entire session, so I tried to provoke a genuine laughter from her and kept on clicking away the whole time.
My technique requires a careful manual focusing, so it is not ideal for this kind of candids, but I was lucky enough to get most of the pictures in perfect focus.

I lo...

Acting like a goddess.

Lauretta knows how to pose and use her body, that's for sure.
Somewhere else I was talking about experience, and that is exactly what she is boasting in this photo.
It is an honour to work with such a professional model, and I hope her abilities are coming through also in the final images.

Divided.

Apparently Paulina has been welcomed by everybody in yesterday's post, so here is another photo of this new model.

This been the apartment of a photographer, the red wall was a great visual aid to make the body of the model stand out even more, at the same time matching the color of her nails.
We tried many photos with the red wall as the only background but this one, with the contrasting white, is even more interesting as a composition, and also the pose of the model is pleasantly d...

NEW #BRAMLEYAPPLE BLOSSOMING ON THE 🍏 TREE…

Meet Paulina, the new Apple from Poland.
A new queen on her pink throne.

This was the frame number 800 I took during the 3 hour photoshoot, the very last.
This model has an exceptional natural breast you'll get to see more in the following days, but she's not taking great care of it.
The skin on her décolleté was ruined by a severe sunburn she got in Fuerteventura, but the rest of her boobs were safe and very good looking!

I just had the time to prepare this single pic...

Veiled.

Don't worry, when I use a veil on my models, I try to cover as little as possible of their bodies, so even in the case of this curtain, most of Cristiana is still visible.

Pity she had just undressed and she is still showing the signs of her jeans on the skin.

Today I'm in Milano to shoot with a brand new model from Poland, and in one of the new locations provided by my new contact, curious to see how it goes...

Snowball effect.

Numerous models are getting in contact to work again with me (we are trying to plan something also with Denise...), new models from abroad are contacting me during their work trips, and a couple of new contacts could end up providing plenty of gigs.

I'm afraid this year is going to turn out very busy, like the 2022, if not worse.
I will have to learn to say no, from time to time.

Anyway, plans are that I will be shooting with 2 new models this month, on the 12th and on the 19th...

Nodes of the wood.

The language of photography is magical, and I particularly love how the selective focus manages to highlight the main subject, but at the same time they graces the wooden background.

We are not able to notice these effects with our naked eyes, and rarely our mobile phones manage the same depth provided by a proper lens, not even with the aid of software enhancements.

Surely Ada deserves a proper lens to convey her beauty!

Bed.

A good looking lady playing with her hair on a bed is always charming, and even more so if the lady is Martina.

Which color?

You've seen some pictures of Ary with black hair recently, today I want to remind you how she looks with a blond(ish) hair, with this image from our previous photoshoot in Ferrara.
What color do you prefer for her?

Size advantage.

Breasts always look good but, with the arms up, the smaller ones tend to disappear.
There is no risk of this occurring if the size is big like in the case of Stefani.

I find doors to be a good background for naked models, albeit in Winter she was uncomfortable because of the cold air filtering from the bottom of the door.
