Gas fees were so low in the morning, I had enough funds in my crypto wallet to start off my OpenSea account right away and mint my first NFT (sorry for the cryptic words 😅): https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/1128887165048604702755076117318490753302257395619945453281008469281...

I’ve been working on this idea lately, and studied a lot about the blockchain technology.
I’m nearly ready to drop my newly minted, first ever NFT!
I don’t know how many of my faithful followers have the slightest idea about what I’m talking about, I was ignoring the whole stuff myself just a month ago, but it was time to give it a chance and dip my feet in the cold waters of the OpenSea.
Looking at the NFT market, I get the impression it is mostly populated by fans of ...

I'm developing an idea about how to sell my photography, and I'm studying a lot in this period to understand all the implications.
I hope I can provide more informations soon enough, but the argument is very complex and I want to master it right from the beginning.
I have no idea if it is going to work, but it is worth trying.
I'm planning to involve at least 2 models in this project, to start with, and I feel the need to ask for specific permissions about this enterprise.
And yes...
We didn't make many pictures with Slim, but the light was great and the lenses I used were the top, this was the Voigtlander.
Today I was reading a comment to a pictures I posted some days ago saying that she looks dirty with all those tattoos.
It is incredible how some people can be so against tattoos, admittedly it is mainly a problem of older people, but it does make me angry.
I'm pretty happy to see these girls with any amount of ink on the skin, it is something that makes the...
At the time I was doing some shootings with a high number of pictures in BW, and Miele in this location was particularly suited to monochrome.
I was shooting from outside the building, through a window.
We were very brave to go in these locations, nowadays nature is trying to regain control over these houses and they are difficult to approach... maybe I'm also less brave and I prefer to shoot in comfortable Milan apartments, or maybe the new models are going to show more of their bodies...
No matter how dirty the location, Martina is still soldering on and posing like normal, leaning on the wall and looking fabulous.
This is the only time I managed to take her in a desolate place, but I loved how she performed.
I think she would be perfect in a project where I follow her and take pictures all day long and in every situations, as long as she stays naked all the time.
I can see her in my mind, walking naked and barefoot in Milan Central Station with her trolley bag, o...
This was one of the few picture i have taken with the Sony A7 during this shooting.
The place was very dark, so I expected the Sony sensor to behave better than the on Leica on the M240.
But the difference was not as dramatic as I hoped.
This picture was probably shot with the Leica Summicron 90mm (I was not so precise with my notes at the time).
I never loved the Sony camera and I was happy to swap it with the Lumix S1 as soon as it was launched.
But I'm still taking the Sony ...
Corine is a big girl, in the past she has done some body building, but it is unlikely her weight could destroy a sofa, even if she was using it in an awkward way...
But if you see our backstage video you can clearly hear the crack of something braking!
But there was a reason for that.
These apartments for rent are falling to pieces and are made from cheap stuff to start with.
Later on we had a look at the damage and realised that the headrest of the sofa was already ...
How many beds have you slept in during your lifetime?
Even in my ordinary life I have seen plenty, and I don't travel a lot...
I wonder How many has Martina been sleeping in, whit the work she does, and the amount of travelling on her schedule.
But maybe we should concentrate on how she looks on a bed, because in any improvised location, the bed is a fundamental opportunity for new and sexy poses.
Like with this stretching position, it is not something she would likely do every mo...
I love the casual, athletic and exposed poses of Sophia.
She really does not give a f... about what is on show, she just get in the rhythm of the shooting. It is a pity I didn't shoot any backstage videos back then, I would have loved to check them out.
I guess we will have to shoot again together to refresh my memory about how we used to work...
I am starting to grow fond of Cristiana.
I like her natural appearance, straightforward character, and aristocratic look.
A blossoming young girl allowing us to witness her transformation in a beautiful woman.
She could easily be the "girl next door", and this door has been left wide open for our benefit.
Obviously, I feel the obligation to step in, document this unique moment in her development, and share it with you.
I missed a huge opportunity with Shinrin, but I feel I've b...
During lockdown we've been forced to stay at home alone, or with unaccustomed people, sometimes against our will.
Solitude has played some nasty tricks on our mind, and new kind of relationship have developed...
Now we are returning to our normal life routines, but it is difficult to give up the positive aspects of lockdown.
Ask the teddy bear of Naike, he has been the only playmate of this highly sexualised creature for months, the only one allowed in her bed, but this has to sto...
This Caterham has been closed in the garage for so long!
No use to take it out during the week, because I have nowhere to go.
No point on taking it out with my wife on Saturday for the weekly trip to the supermarket, as there is no space for groceries.
Mental to use it on Sunday, the last time we did it took us 3 hours to travel for 30 km due to traffic, much wiser to use a motorbike!
So it just has to rest in the garage, at least until the covid problem is over, or until I hav...

Looking back at this shooting, I think I might have not exploited the monumental bottom of Cara as much as she deserved.
Particularly when you shoot with a model for the first time, you are unaware of her body, you have to get acquainted, and learn the best angles.
With Martina, and after 14 shootings, I have a pretty good knowledge of her figure and we had the chance to try pretty every angle of view.
It is also important to get the first feedback from my affectionate followers, tha...
On her IG profile, Sofia is getting more and more refined.
But I will never forget our shooting in this desolate building site, with a simple sheet of plastic as a background.
To me she looks spectacular and dignified even in these humble surroundings, I believe a natural, innocent beauty can prevail on everything else.
Smuttyfy is a happier clone of Facebook that allows NSFW contents.
I have opened my profile to give them a chance: https://smuttyfy.com/
After all I have always asked for something like that, and now I have find it, it is only fair to use it!
It is still very small, and when you make a post it will ask you if you want to show it to EVERYONE (that means 1300 people in total) 😂
But everything must sta...
A friend of mine is planning to make a sacred painting with the subject of Mary Magdalene for one of his clients, and he wanted to use one of my pictures as an outline for the body posture, after he will add a drapery to cover the sensitive areas.
He also showed me a photograph by another author that was the sketch proposed by the client, the resolution was way too low to use it effectively, and he wanted to check out some of my archives to find a better option.
The original model was v...
Beauty is everywhere, but most of the time it is hidden by many layers of fabric.
I will try to reveal as many hidden beauties as I manage to find, because to hide naked bodies is the only true original sin.
Early Summer morning, hot sun light coming in from the window.
Fortunately I was here only to take some pictures of Martina, because if we were supposed to be on Holiday to visit the city, it would never have happened...
My discipline requires to make at least one shooting every month.
In some period of my life this was too much, and I could not keep up with all the postproduction work.
Some of the shootings were inevitably left behind.
If that happens after the pictures have been extracted from Lightroom, it’s not a big issue.
But this shooting with Kitty was abandoned even before emerging from this software.
Now that I have more time at hand, I finally went back working on Kitty, and ...

According to women, every men prefers big breasts.
But I this this is a problem mostly for the girls.
K. had a beautiful small breast but, looking at her IG profile I suspect she has done something to make it bigger (or she was still growing and developing when we worked together in 2017...)
I think it is a pity to tamper with such an harmonious body, but I may be the only one here.
What's your opinion?
Over 3 years ago, in February 2018, I was shooting for the first time with Martina.
She hasn't change much, fortunately.
As I anticipated yesterday, I have found another model that does not reply to my messages...
My phone has nothing wrong, because another photographer friend of mine has the same problem with her when he tried to ask her permission for the publication in the very same Loove Magazine.
And when she finally texted, it was to ask me to remove her pictures from YouPic!
I resist to these bullying from models because I have a signed model release that should protect me... but it was ok...

In these days I’m working on an issue of an Italian online magazine https://www.instagram.com/loovmagazine/ , but not very successfully.
We had selected 2 potential models: Katya and Lenne.
Katya finally refused to sign a new model release for this publication because she is not making nudes any more, especially of explicit nature, not even for her own OnlyFans profile.
Lenne has been published...

This is another sequence that deserves to be shown fully.
We tried many different poses whilst this special light was streaming in from the window.
Martina has beautiful long hair, but I must admit sometimes it gets in the way.
For this shooting we kept it tied up nearly all the time, and she looked just as stunning as usual.
A girl should never loose the ability to blush, because there is nothing more appealing.
During this first shooting, Shinrin constantly appeared to wear this slight blush on her face, and on the rest of her body as well.
During our second shooting, only a few months after, she did not appear as shy, and she was also sporting a heavier make-up.
That is what makes these first pictures so precious and unique to me.
I've been a lucky man to witness this special moment, I can't think o...
Just finished retouching the shooting with Kiki, including the pictures taken with the Fujifilm X100V.
I'm still not totally convinced with the consistency of quality obtainable from this camera and I decidedly despise the awkward workflow with CaptureOne.
But I must admit the general feeling of the photos with the simulations applied (the color picture is the standard film rendering) is pleasing and reminds about the good old film times.
It is also a useful videocamera for the new S...
Color temperatures of light can work for you. Who cares if they don't match, in some cases the different color casts can make your subject stand out more (as if Martina required these cheap expedients to be noticed...) The warm artificial light makes the body of Martina even more inviting, compared with the cold evening light from the window. The human eye tends to compensate for these differences in color temperatures, but the digital sensor is always going to record them, and will let you p...

Every picture with this girl contains some magic, even in this one she appears about to cast a spell on us.
But I guess it is all down to her natural beauty, that leaves us powerless.
Juliet's balcony in Verona is much smaller than this, but I can imagine the love of Romeo growing even stronger if he was confronted with a sight like this.
Nude, with blue hair and plenty of tattoos, Puffa would have been a sensation at that time!
