During these days of shooting (this is the first one of 4 consecutive), I am supposed to post teasers about what we are doing with the 2 models, but it is unlikely I will have time to do it as usual.
I will try, but having more shootings the day After, it is good enough if I manage to download safely the photos and recharge the batteries, instead of working on the photos to post the day after.
Not only, but the day after the last shooting, I will have to start working again in my daily ...

I was surprised about how good these files of Dovile were to work on, until I realized they were shot on the Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "Martin" (the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase).
It is incredible how malleable these files are, and how much details the medium format provides.
Examining the deep expressions of a consummate model as Dovile is a pleasure for the eyes.
I was very lucky having a second chance to work with her, and I'm ...

This shot of Barbora with the Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "Martin" (the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase), was the first I took of her, and I had the time to set up a specific corner of the apartment whilst she was undressing.
I know the white balance is way too far on the warm side, but this is reproducing well the feeling I had at the time, for having pointed a traditional tungsten lamp on her from the right side of the frame.
Not a bad ...

During our first encounter in a claustrophobic hotel room in Bergamo, I was overwhelmed by the sensuality of Maria, and got distracted by her enthusiasm and willingness.
Spoiled by choice, I was acting more like a kid in a candy store, than like a professional photographer knowing what he was doing.
I was also making my first experiments with the GFX medium format camera, and still had not found the ultimate lens combination for it.
I'm not too concerned about this first shooting goi...

September 2023, one of the shootings of Martina I'm still working on, in a Milan apartment we used twice, but had plenty of interesting tips for shooting.
This was the furniture in the bedroom, giving an original background to the picture, with a lamp and the door in the foreground.
It always work well to have elements both in front and on the back of your main subject, adding depth to the scene.

High contrasts make photos very interesting, but you still have to be careful not to blow out the highlights.
The darker skin of Sugar is less prone to do that, but a white lady could be more susceptible to getting out of control.
Contrasts in light may help isolating the subject of the photo even more than the out of focus background, but in this case we get both effects at the same time.
What photographer could hope for such a huge studio?
I was very lucky on that day to get ...

Shooting with a rangefinder Leica is not easy, you have to get used to it, and the nearest you're focusing, the easier it is to cut out fundamental limbs from the model.
But what you get in exchange is a unique experience, great performances of the viewfinder in bright sunshine, and the quality of this Summicron-M 50mm at its best!
I screwed up lot's of pictures of Ania on the nudist beach with the Leica M240, because I was to near to the subject, and because I'm not using my M enough.<...

Partly because of her young age, and partly because of her lack of experience, Anna was not able to move her body with the efficacy of, let's say, a model like Martina, but it is this very same inexperience that makes her so cute.
She was attentive and eager to please, learning the dynamics involved in a profession she abandoned too soon.
I wonder how good she would be now, if only she had continued to model...

I got back some money I had lent many years ago.
I knew I was going to get it back, so I never tried to accelerate the process, but I had no idea when that was going to happen.
It was finally given back to me last week, with no interests or anything else, but that’s all right, because it was never supposed to be a speculation.
At long last, I had this surplus of money coming from out of the blue, which is a situation that has happened very few times in my life, usually when I was c...

Ania in Consonno has been a magical experience I will never forget, even if I have a terrible memory, but I will be helped by 354 photos + backstage videos.
I am sorry I'm not shooting the backstage videos any more, but they were creating more problems with the models than the photos themselves, and I was wasting too much valuable time in the process.
So I prefer to go deeper in the picture side of my hobby and I need to give up every distraction.
I can't say if during the 3+ years s...

The house where I worked with Anastasia was messy, in every room, it must reflects the mind of the owner.
I say so because my house is the same, but I'm not shooting in it!
This mess is like the noise that is upsetting the main signal, in this case Anastasia's figure.
Fortunately the signal of Anastasia's beauty is so strong it covers the noise, at least in this picture.
You can see 2 more examples of this concept on the other photos I'm posting today elsewhere, hoping the signal ...

I know most of us are mesmerized by Martina's stare, in every single photo where she is looking in camera (or should I say at US?)
But she is not the only model that has a riveting look, confident and meaningful at the same time, Ada is another good example.
And yet her stare is something else from the best stares we know and love, I'm thinking about Manya, Bianca, and many others, each different and unique, but just as strong.

June 2020 in Milano, between Covid lockdowns, in one of the best apartment I've ever seen in the city.

My daily job in an assembly line is giving me a strange perception of time: while days are passing very slowly, especially as the week goes on; weeks and months are flying past without me even noticing.
Add to that my bad memory, and you understand why I'm so keen on photography in the first place, as a tool to help me remembering the fundamental steps in my life.
Every model, and every shooting is a milestone in my life, and brings back a series of memories about that period, like this...

My posting of models everywhere is more or less random.
I have some kind of method, I try to post the same model in 3 different places on the same day, and I choose also considering if I have the time to extract photos from sets I'm still working on, or I can save time picking something from the Archives.

Some models can transcend the rules of lightning, receive it from the wrong directions, and still look awesome.
Sophy is definitely one of these models, and this photo is a clear example of the concept.
