signs and beaches September 25th, 2010
Last week I told you about beeing a lucky photographer, so this week I tell you about a lazy photographer: yes, there will be no new sexy nudes series on guapamania.com this week…
This week I made off for a few days to Mallorca. It’s just a 30 minutes flight from Barcelona, and your’e in another world. You don’t have to go thru customs, so it seems that you’re still in Spain, but if you open your ears you think you are in Germany. Hallo, noch ein Bier!
However, if you search between all the german menu cards and promotions for “Eigentumswohnungen”, souvenirs and Mallorca pearls, you can still find some spanisch signs, sometimes even some written in mallorquí, the local dialect of catalan.
accurate estimate of costs
Like this accurate estimate of costs. As a Swiss guy I was absolutely fascinated by the precise amount of 3’161’548.50 for a 9 month work. You know, I’m coming from Switzerland, proud country of accuracy, but when we have an estimate of costs, it is always very approximative. Like the new terrible Mustermesse-Building by Herzog de Meuron, estimated some 300 Millions, now some 400 or 500 Millions, and in the end – who knows… Maybe Swiss urban planners should take an educational trip to Mallorca?
put your face in the right direction!
However, when they take the train they should take care to put there face in the right direction, because, literally translated, this sign asks the pasengers to sit with the face towards driving direction. I am not sure if the designers of this sign thought about that, but in the case of Swiss employees of the state for sure it is a great advantage if you only have to look at them from behind…
But enough of my trials to make some jokes. Mallorca really is a very, very nice place. Just beautiful. The only disadvantage is that I’m not the only one who knows about the beauty of this iland in the Mediterranean. So there is always a lot of people, where ever you go. There must be some secret places, but they are secret… and so where you and I go, everybody else goes too.
spectacular view on Mallorca
You can take the public bus for a very low price and travel aound the whole island. You’ll find spectacular views, like the one on the left, and if you visit Mallorca in late september most of the other tourists are already gone and you can enjoy the beaches with just some hundreds of others, instead of some thousands…
And, if you’re lucky, you will still have nice weather. We had 28°, twice it rained, but the beautiful clouds broke up soon and the sun burned our faces.
a cloudy day in Mallorca
So, this week I was walking around with my wife like two very typical tourists, the camera in front of the belly and click-click…
But I do promise that during the next week I will sit on my computer and edit and edit again, to deliver a new beautiful and hot series of artisic and erotic nudes on guapamania.com.
See you soon!
lucky photographer September 20th, 2010
Life is hard. Sometimes. And sometimes it’s just marvellous.
If you ever looked out for suitable photo models, you know how hard a model search can be. You endlessly look at applicants, just to choose a few. You take test photos, and again decrease the number of possible models. You organize a first photo session with the remaining ones, to find out that only one, maybe, really is capable to pose freely and good and furthermore arrives on schedule, freshly showered, with a clean skin, in a good temper…
a stroke of luck: amateur nude model Yana
But then there are the lucky days!
Imagine: you open your studio’s door and a beautiful young woman steps inside. You talk with her and realize that she understands what you want in nudes photography, that she has what you want to capture from a model, that she thinks, it’s a great idea to take the photos of her that you want. You work with her from the beginning as if you already would have worked with her many times. It just works. You can concentrate on on the expression of the model, on the light, the camera, without to need to use a lot of words (well, I still talk a lot, even if I don’t have to… 
).
Such things happen sometimes to me, I guess I’m a lucky photographer. But they don’t happen every day, even if you’re a photographer who has worked and works with a lot of women. Yana – you have already seen her in this blog several times and you can see the results of the first session with Yana here… – is such a stroke of luck for me. Obviously she’s my favourite model at the moment.
We worked together for several sessions during this summer, and I like the results very much. Yana is very talented, her sensuality comes from inside, is a part of her, she doesn’t have to play anything. She moves very freely and she knows how to pose beautifully. Yana also was and is model for my individual photography workshops and all of the participiants where completely happy to work with her (if you hurry up and with some luck you can still arange a workshop appointment: see link above and contact me for details…).
amateur nude model Yana on the beach
When Yana and I went to the beach for a photo session for the first time, we met at Plaza Catalunya before 6 o’clock in the morning to take the train up the coast. Allthough it was still very early in the morning when we arrived at the beach, Yana was very awake – as you can see in the photos series “Yana: beautyful girl on the rocks”.
It’s a series of very beautiful, artistic yet sensual nudes of a young woman – sometimes appearing as a playful, innocent girl and somtimes an attractive, experienced woman… Go, download the series, you will see at lot more of her. And you will like what you see. The model and the photography!
free erotic video! September 12th, 2010
One day there was a video tape in my mail with the words “Model-Application”. The video showed a young, very plump woman with big, soft breasts, obviously filming herself with an amateur camera while having so much fun!
a private sex video
It was obvious that this is a true exhibitionist. Undoubtedly not a top-model beauty, but the privacy, the unvarnished, simple authenticity and the long scenes without any camera movement led me to purchase the rights on this very personal video.
Today, that hot piece of moving images is a piece of sex history to some extent. Hot and unvarnished. Technically, with regard to contents and quality it is basic, but certainly quite unique in its own way!
I am now offering you to download this video for free (1GB size) with any download order you place on guapamania.com, no matter what series in what size you purchase.
Have fun!
erotic art – black-and-white nudes
September 5th, 2010
I love black-and-white photos. Back in times, when I worked with negative film – in fact during about 30 years – I loved the process of taking photos slowly and carefully.
naked girl on the floor of the bathroom
On a single film for my analog Hasselblad I could take 12 shots. Imagine! Now I have 32 GB space on a single memory chip and I can click and click and click without even thinking…
When taking photos on black-and-white negative film you have to think before you shoot. You have to take special care about contrasts, control the light, maybe check it using some Polaraoids with the exchangeable camera back… I never used zoom lenses, I thought about perspective, angle, point of view… before pressing the button.
This all has changed a lot. However sometimes I really feel like working in the same manner as I did it for years. Just using a digital camera now (I mostly work with a Canon 5D Mark II). But I take care about the light, I measure the contrasts, I search carefully for the poses and try to compose the images before I click. I get that nostalgic feeling of seriously working and using my photographic knowledge and skills, and I love it!
If you look at the images of the latest series “Catarine: black-and-white nudes” you’ll see a series of images that arn’t even cropped. They are just as they came out of the camera, no changes at all – except of converting to black-and-white and adjusting contrasts as you would do it in the classic dark room.
Sure, the images are sensual and erotic. But when taking these photos I was in a very artistic mood, to say so. I just wanted to make art, nothing else. Have a look, and descide yourself if i reached the goal…
I shoot in raw format. I don’t use any camera effects and so what I get is a color image that I convert to black-and-white using my favorite photo management program digikam.
more explicit nudes in color...
However, some of the images I left in color.
I’ve put those images that show more explicit details into a separate series. The photos are from the same session, obviously, but for the black-and-white “pure art series” I selected only those images that are not too much focused on intimate details, while the hotter part is here…
Allthough the explicit series contains some images that are very focused on the unshaven pussy of the young italian model, I still consider it as artistic work.
There is always a very small line between art and porn and a lot of people attach the distinction to the fact whether genitals are visible or not. Actually I think the difference lays more in the manner how the things are shown than what is shown, and if you ask me, then these photos are far from beeing porn, although the expression for sure is very sexual.
You know, the best thing you can do is go and download the series. And then tell me what you think. In an email or as a comment. ok?
