Aria in the bath.

Remember to meditate before showering.

K. by the window light.

Leica M is really magic, preparing this YouTube video about it, I remembered how much joy it gave me in the past.
So I guess I'll have to start using it again!
To use all my equipment I need to do more than one shooting every month, let's see how it goes when we regain our freedom...
In the mean time, check out how special this camera really is in my video:

Martina blocking the stairs.

Which other model can pull off such a stylish pose in a location this damaged?
I can think of only one, Miele... possibly.
Few models can fill an empty and desolate place like this with the same grace and ease.

Time for a nap.

Valeria handcuffed.

A young and fragile creature I was happy to work with when I was starting off this nude project.
I met some interesting people in the last 3 years, not only the models, but also thousands of followers and a selected number of patrons.

Martina on the couch.

Possibly Martina provides the most physical experience of all my models.
Her back is giving away an almost tactile sensation for every muscle, you can almost feel the warmth of her skin with your fingers, I sincerely hope you're not suffering from heart diseases!
I'm happy my current gear is capable of recording the sensations with such fidelity.

Shinrin on a chair.

Back to the magic of the first shooting with Shinrin, I love the way she feels so natural and at ease when she's nude.
If only every girl could live with her body with such spontaneity.
Anyway, as this would  be impossible, if I had to choose only few girls equipped with this talent, I would surely select Shinrin for the top of my list!
I was lucky to make this shooting when she was still 19, just a few month later she was a whole different woman, and this air of innocence was m...

Puffa near the bookshelf

You can see we were approaching the end of the shooting, whilst still professional, Puffa was showing the first signs of impatience.
It is difficult also for me to shoot for 3 hours in one go, I guess the concentration I put in this work is really high, because when I stop I feel exhausted.

Tightly cropped Martina.

You can crop Martina any way you want, and she's still going to look stunning.

What is left in the frame is saturating the photo with sensuality, and it's easy to fill in the missing parts with our imagination.
The Contax-Zeiss 135mm f2.8 lens is really doing wonders for the tactile sensation of the skin and gives us the impression of being inside the picture with the model, which is not a bad feeling, if you ask me ๐Ÿ˜‰

#stayhome and have a look at my new YouTube video!

 

The Leica m240 is a specialised camera, perfect to take pictures of people with an unmistakable intimate feel, so why Iโ€™ve not been using it any more during the last Bramley Appleโ€™s shootings?

Check out my second video on the newly born #BramleyApple YouTube channel, you can choose the language between

Bettie between poses.

There are poses that are definite and precise, somewhat iconic.

But there are also indefinite pose, the in-between movement to reach a new position, where the body has not settled yet. I find these transitional poses fascinating because you can get the model off guard and looking more vulnerable, sometime you can even perceive the slight movement of a limb or of the hair that have not yet settled.

I'm extremely severe with my photographic technique and my focus, but I'm more prone...

Vintage entertainment.

The bedside table with integrated radio was an interesting vintage touch that gives this picture a unique feel.
In reality we've never even tried to use this radio, because we were listening at the MP4s from Katya's iPhone while shooting.
Things have changed fast (or maybe this hotel room was outdated decades ago...)

Martina in an overgrown garden.

"Yes, there is perfect, don't move!"
I love to take Martina in nature, we have to do it more in the future.
She also looks good on a beach, but we don't have seaside nearby so, I'm afraid, it will have to be more grass ๐Ÿ˜‰

Mescaline on the white sofa.

Instead of a bucket list, I have a post Corona list of things to do, and Mescaline is definitely on this list.

Demi from high up.

I like these shots from an elevated point looking down on the lying model.
The ideal conditions are not always available, but I try to take advantage of them every time I find them.

Martina at the window.

I would like to say I'm counting the days until the next shooting, but how can you do that if we have no idea when we will be let free again?
The situation is much better in Italy and I suspect it's also down to the higher temperature of the last days.
Possibly the spreading of this virus is really favoured by low temperatures...
As soon as I can I will try to book the next shooting, I guess also the models are ready to go back to business!
In the mean time I've found the time to ...

Happy Easter to everybody!

I was never going to be ready for this, so I just started.
The You Tube channel of Bramley Apple is now live with 2 videos about photographic technique, in English and Italian version.
I'm much more comfortable speaking in Italian so, if you know the language, I suggest you see this version of the video:

Shinrin leaning on the furniture.

Shinrin has a lean figure but her body is still changing into adulthood, so she appears like a sexy puppy that will develop in a magnificent woman.
Judging from her social medias, she's back in the house of her boyfriend, so we should be able to shoot again in that location in the next cold season...
Still, I hope the Coronavirus emergency will cease much before, and we will be able to shoot open air in the Summer.

Martina in downtown Milano.

If your aim was to look at Milano's skyline, the Bosco Verticale and the Uni Credit Tower, you will be disappointed by this photo...

But if you're here on Patreon, I suppose you're more interested in Martina's figure, so you should be happy after all.

In this picture Sophia is behaving well, much better than usual.
But remember you can find her true self in the Flickr album...

Aria was censored on VK.

I could never have imagined that a picture of Aria was going to block one of my profiles on VK, of all social medias...
First because Aria doesn't do the erotic pictures I crave for, and second because VK is usually patience with nudes, but it did happen on Tuesday night, and it was the picture in which she's wearing the ballerina shoes.

It was not the main profile on VK (the one with my real name) and it was not the page (which it bears no limitations about the content I should be a...

Martina on the sofa.

Another picture from that magic morning in Brescia, with Martina just awakened, with the skin still warm from sleeping and tanned to perfection.
She really was in great form, full of the energy of her 25 years of age.
Nature can be very generous with some lucky people, Martina for sure, but also me for a brief moment...

Katya and her long hair.

The hair of Katia seems to have coloured also the wall in the back, but I love the way the red is in contrast with the blue of her eyes. And this girls works just as well in B&W.

C. handcuffed.

This girl has changed her model's alias again, possibly to protect the other jobs she's doing as a singer.
But she's still posing!

Martina

Seems like a classic painting pose for Martina, but it works much better without a voluminous dress.
The bottom of Martina is really special, from every angle!

Rainy day outside, in the middle of August, but that's all out of focus...
Only Dovile is the center of attention.
