Bramley Apple

The #BramleyApple Project started in November 2016, with the aim of creating a figure study photo Archive of the best nude models available on the international stage for posterity (and for contemporary enjoyment).

I have been shooting nudes since 1992 on film, but in 2016 the practice became more intentional, regular and focused.
I book the most stunning nude models I can find and afford, and I shoot with them at the very edge of their comfort zone.
I ask the models to wear little to no make up, and no trace of fabric whatsoever, to avoid any hint at seduction.
My galleries are made by figure studies of naked female bodies, intimate portraits of young ladies, also explicit, but still with an artistic purpose in mind.
I use the most advanced digital cameras equipped with traditional manual focus lenses from the golden era of film photography, for the most natural and organic look.
In this regard, the #BramleyApple Project is also an insight into the history of photographic culture.

I don’t like the results from working in a studio, with perfect lightning, perfect photos, but boring results; I prefer to work in hotel rooms, rented apartments, abandoned buildings or natural landscape, to challenge the model and myself with the conditions available.

I post my photos on the main social media platforms that still accept nudes, and censored on the ones that do not.
I also post on paid and closed platforms for people that desire to see more of my work, or just want to support the project.
