Bramley Apple

Long or very long?

Today I'm shooting with £lisandra in Consonno, but I'm not going to take this stunning Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2 lens I used with Cristiana in Gallarate.
I will stick to the choice I made with Ania for Consonno: 50mm and 85mm.
I will ...

Ray of light.

I wanted Slim to play on the edge of this light coming from the window, to get a good balance between lighter and darker areas.
The light was soft and diffused, so the contrast is not excessive, but it still looks good.
Of course the Contax-...

Light and dark.

Usually the light should hit the face of the model in a portrait, because our eyes are naturally attracted by the lighter areas in any given image.
But this picture demonstrates that rules are meant to be broken, and our eyes are more than happ...

Day off.

I've asked for another couple of days off from work in July, one for Martina and one for a new model from Turin.
Even if next month is supposed to be a busy one, I'm happy to say they've been approved!

This time Martina and I are not goin...

Upsides.

I’m currently working on 2 shootings, the one with £lisandra, and the second one with Ania in Consonno.
I’m analysing the pictures to get the best insight for the future.
I want to study the body of £lisandra, check out her best angles...

Cinematographic Ania.

During the weekend I've been working on the backstage videos from the shooting with Ania in Consonno.
Have a look on my VK page to see the only one I've published (in case you are not following me there, ask me for the link on 2022-06-20 07:31:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Exclusivity.

I always keep an eye on the IG profile of this girl, and I'm pretty sure it is not likely to be deleted by uncle Zuck. because the pictures are really safe for work and for everything else you can think of!
These days very few people can apprec...

Essential.

You can hardly talk about "location" if you are just using an empty wall, nevertheless it is not as common as you can imagine to have such a large neutral background at your disposal... mainly because in any house you would tend to use it in some ...

Unlucky month.

To say June is less lucky than May has been is an understatement...
In May everyone of the 5 planned shootings did turn out all right, In June 3 of the 4 planned have been cancelled already.
Also the one with Martina is not going to happen, ...

The secret chemistry.

Funny how each model is inspiring different fantasies, that can change with time...
At the beginning I always wanted to tie up Cristiana in kinky ways, but later she changed, and I have not felt the need to tie her up in the last shootings we d...

Ania under the sun.

I always liked this location, and it has been my unique subject many times, it is also the place where I held the practical test for a photography course I held many years ago.

Now that I'm finally taking there also my naked models, everythi...

Gracefully handcuffed.

You can look graceful even with handcuffs on, Demi Fray is showing us how this item can still look fashionable.
So much so that you don't need to wear anything else!
I would organise a catwalk for handcuffs alone, some weared in front, and s...

Difficult to get.

Some models are easy to work with, like Corine (in this picture).
I just have to take days off work when she is planning a trip to Milano...

Other models are difficult to work with, even if I'm trying hard every time I know she is coming ...

Catwalk.

Martina is always posing for fashion if you let her free, even when she is nude.
Actually she tended to do so during our first shootings (this was number 3, late 2018), because she had not catch on my preferences for casual poses.

I wonde...

Ary from Ferrara.

This is Video Girl Ary, from my second shooting of May, made in Ferrara.
I've done very little work on this shooting, so it was a pleasant surprise to look through the images to select this one for you.

We are all lucky to have so many ph...

Unlucky?

No shooting this Saturday.
It is the second time this new model cancelled our appointment, the first time for a technical breakdown of the car, the second time for an injury in the gym.
I do believe this girl and I still like her very much, ...

Dazzled.

In this picture you can see how Sophy was dazzled by the sun on this terrace.
I was dazzled as well, not only by the sun that made focusing very difficult (mirrorless camera's EVF are not ideal in bright daylight light), but also by the color o...

Gracefully nude.

Nudity should be a natural state, and we should feel comfortable with our body, just like Annalisa.
Not sure why institutions and social media are so against normality, but fortunately we have some girls that still feel at ease with their bodie...

Fished out from the Archives.

Today we go way back in 2017 to find the beautiful Stefani on this white bed.

Notwithstanding the amount of pictures I'm publishing every day and everywhere, I still have at least 5 times as many hidden in my Archives that few people are eve...

Tasting and testing.

I like to spend a long time working on getting the balance of my pictures just right, and consistent the entirety of a shooting.
In the first pictures I edit I put a lot of effort, but not always the result is fully satisfying.
Later on I mi...

Vulnerable?

During this shooting I perceived I was looking at a vulnerable creature, maybe it was a special period in Martina's life, or it was only a wrong impression from my sick imagination.
I'm happy to say after this shooting I've seen Martina again a...

Record breaking.

Getting back to all of the 5 shootings of May, I have plenty of material to work on!
It was a record braking month in the history of Bramley Apple and will probably remain unbeaten.
I'm sure you remember about £lisandra, from the 15th of Ma...

4:24 PM.

This clock was working well, which is not a given.
I have one in my kitchen, which has been in the family for ages, but I never look at it, because these days we have iWatches, iPhones, iMacs and they all tell you what time it is, they are also...

Hard or soft beauties.

Sometimes, though, we don't need to see the eyes (like yesterday with Giulia), but we like to see also a pretty body.
And Kiki has a beautiful and feminine body to start our June with a bang!

Do you prefer more muscular and skinny ladies ...

Spoiled by choice.

You have no idea how difficult it is to choose one picture from this new shooting with Ania in Consonno, not because we shot few pictures, but because we shot too many (982) and too good!
I also have to be careful not to spoil some surprise...
