Bramley Apple - Martina on the floor

Bramley Apple - Martina on the floor

I never use wide angle lenses to shoot nudes, only Bill Brandt can get away with that, but I had to do it this time.

Martina suggested to use the floor as a background for her body and, towering on top of her, the 50 mm jus wasn’t enough.

So I got out my old and battered 35 mm Summicron dating back to 1968 and started shooting with that.

Hope you don’t mind if you can see my feet in some of the shots, actually it even makes it more kinky…

I really like this set and tried to preserve a low light look.

It is an intimate secret shared between photographer and model (and you, of course).

Bramley Apple - Safety belt

Bramley Apple - Safety belt

Not all models want to play, after all it’s business for them… Sadie took on the slave role and was convincing enough, albeit not subdued! Surely you can see there was no real threat but, visually, the constrain of the belt ads a new dimension.

The real danger comes from Sadie’s eyes, that leave no escape to the observer.

Bramley Apple - On the carpet with Sophia

Bramley Apple - On the carpet with Sophia

Sophia has the body to suit my style of photography: not overwhelmingly sensual, but ideal for figure studies.

I feel we have still plenty of work left over for our next shooting…

Bramley Apple - Table session with Martina

Bramley Apple - Table session with Martina

I was prepared to go to Florence to shoot with Martina, but fortunately she regularly travels in Lombardy.

I’m really starting to love my 90 mm Summicron lens and I must say the Sony A7 is doing a decent job in capturing this magic.

Who needs Petzval, or Zenit, or Zeiss for that matter…

I guess I could live the rest of my life with this portrait lens alone.

Now I need to plan my next shooting with Martina!

Bramley Apple - Big girl in a small room

Bramley Apple - Big girl in a small room

Stefani is surely a big girl, she must be 1.80 m high and you would feel small and intimidated in her presence if it was not for that beautiful smile she always wears, and how naturally she behaves with nothin on.

She has worked with all of the top nudes sites you can think of, and no amount of nudity can really trouble her, so I was compelled to try more extreme stuff and close ups.

I might have felt out of my confort zone just asking for some poses, but she was always happy to perform, helpful and smiling as if it was the most natural state to be in.

I wish all my models were so uninhibited, albeit this might end up becoming too distracting from my aesthetic work...

I had to alternate styles, moods and distances from the subject to cool off and get back on tracks.

The sexy details of her body maybe less artistic, but somehow they serve to placate the natural curiosity of men towards a women sex: once you get through that phase, you can get back to appreciate the full body and the the beautiful creature she is.

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?

Personally I think there is no part of the human body that is ugly, indecent, or deserves to be hidden.

So I decided to post a couple of “dirty” pictures, the ones I was embarrassed to take but felt I really had to shoot in such a rare occasion when the model would grant me this privilege…

PLEASE COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SORT OF PICTURES!
