NEW #BRAMLEYAPPLE BLOSSOMING ON THE 🍏 TREE… (Patreon)

This BW, regardless having been shot with the SL2-S, is so good I wanted to show it first in today's sequence.These were the last photos of my shooting on Saturday with Nikoll, the very last is the one I will post tomorrow on my regular social media feed, the moment when she opens her eyes, all the rest is the same.The version with the eyes closed was a perfect teaser for my Patrons.

Even if the shooting was shorter than usual, 2,5 hours, Nikoll was pretty much spent afterward.In the picture she is just pretending to sleep, but she confessed she wanted to do it for real.I guess it is hard work also for the model to shoot with me...

Here are the usual statistics:- only 161 frames with the Leica SL2-S + Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 85mm f1.4 (see above)- reasonable 250 frames 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), which I still consider my flagship camera for overall quality.- whopping 399 frames with the Leica M10 Monochrom + the recently arrived Summilux-M 50mm.

A total of 810 frames is not a large number but, considering the time was half an hour shorter than usual, it is a lot, surely enough to get the model exhausted (if not a single one of my batteries).

But it was totally worth it and I loved this model!You will see why tomorrow, when I'm going to post 3 photos all around my network.Pity she didn't know English at all, so communication was impossible...I will try to book her again whilst she is still in Milano, but through messages, so she can take her time and translate them, let's see if we can agree on price and on what to do exactly.
