Colours are distracting.
On the new Panasonic I chose to visualise the image on the electronic viewfinder in black and white, this way I don't get distracted by the colours and I can work out the composition and the light much better.
I've felt a big difference particularly in this stair sequence with Martina.
I'm pretty sure you will see better black and white in the future 😉
Katya flashing.
This girl lives of light, and the heavy blast from my Profoto A1 revived her.
I still don't like flashlight, but it was useful in this hotel room and with this model.
I guess I will have another go with artificial light this winter, when the natural light goes dim.
"Ready to go out?"
Coralin is not completely naked, she's wearing her tattoos that seems like sleeves, and the confidence to go out just as she is.
I was not sure Martina would have been able to do this awkward thing with her legs, but I asked anyway, and it worked very well indeed.
The lesson I learned is to always ask for whatever you have in mind, worst thing it can happen is they say no... or they slap you in the face, although that never happened, not yet. 😉
Tried to hire this girl for August shooting, but unfortunately she is busy until the 20th of September with Holidays and exams...
I'm afraid during this month I will have to work on the past shootings, which is not all that bad as I have so many left over.
Another forgotten shooting I've been working on during these days of holiday, this is Demi Fray from more than one year ago!
This is the second picture of her I posted on Patreon, hope you like her...
The beautiful Chiara reminds me about Cleopatra in this picture.
This was the first time I really managed to use the Summicron 90mm as it deserved thanks to the Sony A7.
But nowadays I'm even happier to use it with the Lumix.
Miele has been my first love in nude photography, and our story lasted for 3 shooting, a record at the time.
I've not worked with her for a long time only because she does not do the erotic nude I'm currently interested in, but I really love how she poses and the attitude that transpire from these pictures, particularly in Black & White.
So I hope to work again with her in the future, also because we've developed some sort of genuine friendship and she is a great human being. ...
Puffa is at ease when she is naked even if there are people around.
Fortunately this was a deserted artificially planted forest, and I was happier that way.
Sadie is too dressed up for my taste in this picture, but the light is good and the location even better.
The good old Leica M 240 with the Summicron 50mm never disappoints, yet I feel the need to experiment further, so don't forget:
I think this is a great way to help me out experimenting without having to spend big money yourself, and you could really become part of the creative p...

I've figured out a new way to ask a contribution to my follower...
In this period I'm buying a lot of classic lens because they are working so well on the Lumix S1.
The single lens is not very expensive, compared with an equivalent new example, but it's quite an expense if you add them all up.
So why not ask for followers help?
I was uploading another picture of Anna, but it was far too chastised.
And even if Patreon has censored another of my pictures (you might have noticed the detail of Sophia of some days back is missing), I was ashamed of myself.
I've tried to investigate Findrow but I'm still waiting for a reply...
Great terrace in the centre of Milan and well protected from onlookers by a thick vegetation.
The ideal forest to shoot in and then go back to the office.
Milan is like a big spider web: if you wait long enough, every model is bound to come, you just have to wait for them (and possibly have always the right location available - I really have to work hard on that aspect).
The system of uploading the images has changed on Patreon, so I can post more pictures with the same quality (I guess)... 🤩
Let me know if you see any difference!
I start this new practice with the splendid Martina and a strong side lightning.
I love to work in the huge and empty rooms of abandoned houses.
This was a great window light, except there was no window... 😂
I've always said this shooting with Puffa was our best, and probably it will never be surpassed as it is unlikely we will work again together... so we better enjoy these pictures in HD.
The only good thing shooting in my own house is I had the chance to use the props I have and are too big to take around, like this kneeler.
I will have to try using this again with Martina, I'm sure I could get some interesting results out of her...
Leica always provides a natural feel, my experiments with the Panasonic should not make me forget the M240.
Pretty girl in front of an ugly wall, and cheap plastic on the floor.
Luckily this ugliness does not detract from the beauty of Shinrin, possibly her beauty shines even more in this surroundings.
She's very fond of pets and loves her cat, so I think this is how she learned how to stretch in such a natural way.
Light from below does not necessarily ruin the picture, This is an example where it works well.
Framed by backlight, Sofia is producing her own brilliance.
Can't find the HD pictures from this first shooting with Puffa, but I hope they can be interesting anyway.
Never seen her without a blue hair after this shooting.
I like the asymmetric composition of this pose, this is the out of time type of pictures I aspire to take.
She might need some help in selecting a book, any volunteer?
Couldn't find a better white balance for this picture, the pale blue sheets managed to throw everything off balance.
Fortunately this pretty young girl looks good also with this color cast.
Quick preview of yesterday's shooting with Martina in a beautiful Milan apartment during sunset.
Two new (old) lens to try, I'm pretty sure this is the Contax mount Zeiss 85mm 2.8 wide open (hard to tell without metadata, but I payed attention).
It has become so natural to work with this girl, I feel comfortable experimenting with new gear and the results seems very promising so far, they feel less forgiving compared to the Summicron 90 but should be great for B&W.
Fortunately th...
