My (and your!) model in Tuscany October 10th, 2011
This is Yana as she lives and breathes:
Model Yana as she lives and breathes
Yana and I am currently in Tuscany, Italy and while I am organizing nude photography workshops with her (with some luck you can still join a workshop day with her – contact me immediately: workshops@daniel-bauer.com !) this cute and – obviously – very vital model is available for shootings in Tuscany until October 28.
She is mainly interested in lingerie shootings, especially for catalogs and publicity, and also ejoys to work as a model for beautiful artistic nudes.
For amateur photographers we can offer fantastic locations here, with or without my guidance, and for professional photographers Yana is ready to take the train to your location (within reasonable distances).
Contact me or her directly: http://www.modelmayhem.com/1925565
As you can see, Yana isn’t shy at all and if she has something to tell, you sure will hear it 
Joke, Joke! The truth is, that Yana is a very versatile, experienced and playful young model. She is a natural talent, interested in her and your work, understands the requirements of a photographer, she brings a lot of ideas, knows how to pose, is (withing limits, of course) very liberal in posing and her character makes it very pleasant to work with her.
If you are experienced in dealing with models, you know that it is not always easy to cooperate… Girls sometimes have strange ideas about posing, put inacceptable conditions or simply forget who is the boss and who is the employee in a photo session.
In contrary to this, working with Yana is a pleasure. Besides of her natural beauty and sensual charisma, she is absolutely professional in her work – but in no way snotty or vain. If your are in Italy now, take advantage of the oportunity and contact her now!

sexy cold water fun – memories…
November 29th, 2010
After a very active, fun and in every respect warm summer in the south I am at present back to Switzerland. It is cold, snow on the roofs, ice on the streets, tons of work waiting…
So I sit here on the computer dreaming of sun and sea… and to reminisce about the past few months I edited a very beautiful, sexy and happy series of Yana, my by far preferred model. It is a cheerful series of nudes with the gorgeous naked girl with long black hair, natural, unshaven pubic hair, hard nipples and a dreamlike figure…
beautiful Yana splashed by cold water
Absolutely natural, free and with her personal easy-going nature, Yana again appears irresistibly sexy in these photos. The water on the beach was ice cold, the waves constantly splashed cold shivers over the young model, soon her beautiful long hair was completely wet, salt water dripped from her luscious skin an from her thick bush of dark pubic hair.
Full of playful delight she reacted spontaneously like a young cat, she streched her perfect girls body shivering and laughing in the cool showers and showed herself spontaneous and purely unposed from her most beautiful sides.
The strong morning sun provides a high contrast in these joyful and expressive nudes. On some images, the direct back-light caused rays of light in the hair and around the young, girlish body. Sometimes it seems almost like a halo… See the complete series “cold water fun” on guapamania.com!
I discovered the lovely Argentinian model in spring 2010 and obviously awakened the desire to be photographed in her. Anyone who has seen the beautiful images of her (see all series that I published until now here) will not be surprised about the fact that Yana, with her non-adorned, natural sensuality, is now working successfully with many other photographers, too.
On guapamania you see her unretouched and simply the way she is: young, happy, gorgeous, graceful and seductive… If you are a photographer and would like to contact her for paid model jobs (artistic work and serious offers only!) you might want to have a look at Yana’s facebook page.
Facebook, art …:
facebook page about natural nudes
I reactivated my facebook page “fotografo del desnudo” . As you might know, my artistic work is very concentrated on “natural women”.
I really do love and adore women, and (especially in my purely artistic, non-commercial work and in my photos for private female customers) my goal is to find the most sensual and beautiful sides of the portraied woman – but I am always searching this in herself, not in retouching or trying to “better” her look.
I am not a believer in those so-called beauty-standards that are told us to be perfect. I don’t look at a women as a product that has to be “optimized”, but as the human being and personality she is. I don’t want to change a woman to look like another person or like a mannequin, but I try to make pictures of her, that accentuate her own, personal beauty. So, in my artistic work I am kind of talking about trueness and naturalness – and of course, about sensuality.

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!
Why I take more photos of smoking nude girls May 20th, 2010
A polemic about a controversial subject.
I like smoking. I like smoking women. I like to go to a nice café, have a coffee, read the newspapers, smoke some cigarettes, have a talk with other nice people.
sexy smoking girl, soon on guapamania.com
But now “Anti Smoking Leages” have declared war on us smokers, and they do it in a frightening fundamentalist manner that reminds on me the worst of the anti-sexual terrorism of the church, when they told us, wanking leads to blindness. As we all know, this wasn’t true at all – you wouldn’t see my photos if it was, and I couldn’t have taken them
So how about cancer and smoking?
What stands out first is that the two countries that contaminated the world with atomic bomb testing, France and the United States of America, are the first front-line soldiers in the war against tobacco. The IAEA (not quite a nucelar critical organization…) writes “The accident at Chernobyl was approximately 400 times more potent than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. However, the atomic bomb testing conducted by several countries around the world during the 1960s and 1970s contributed 100 to 1,000 times more radioactive material to the environment than Chernobyl.” (http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/Features/Chernobyl-15/cherno-faq.shtml)
smoking girl from the time of analog photography
Isn’t that interesting? We live in a world full of cancer-causing agents, but we talk about tobacco, only about tobacco.
In Switzerland exists an ultra-fundamentalist organization, the so called “Lungenliga” that wants to prohibit smoking almost everywhere. For health reasons. What a bad joke!
First of all, nobody asks those guys to sit in the same restaurant as we do. If they don’t like smoke, ok, shall they stay (far!) away from us and leave us alone. If they don’t want to inhale smoke, they can easily avoid it. But I cannot avoid to inhale the carcinogenic agents that they blow in the air everywhere with their SUVs, when they drive to the next anti-smoking reunion. I cannot avoid drinking the water that is polluted by antibioticas and hormones, used for the production of the meat they eat. I cannot avoid beeing contaminated by the pesticides they need for the production of their industrially grown food. So please, where is their worry about public health?
And the politicians? Well, I’d better not go into details of what I think about politicians in general. But supposed they care for public health, why did they never ever try to prohibit at least the worst of the chemical additives used in the production of tobacco? Or at least obligate the industry to declare the contents of a cigarette, which sometimes might be some tobacco, but mainly is preservative agents, color, flavor additives, ingredients to make the cigarettes burn down faster… A simple step that could better the health of millions of smokers.
But there is no interest in bettering the health situation. Just imagine the pharmaceutical industry managers going crazy if the number of cancer diseases would decrease significantly.
come, have a cigarette with me!
No, there is absolute no interest in public health. The anti-smoke fundamentalists are nothing else but fundamentalists. They want to detract from other dangers, they want to create hostility between somokers and non-smokers, and – most important – they want to talk about cancer. They love it. Just as the church loved to talk about sex, when they told us how dangerous it is to give oneself an hand-job. For quite a while we all know about the sexual attitudes of many radically anti-sexual priests in regard of children. I leave it up to you, to imagine the private live of the radical anti-smoke perverts.
If you look back on my photographic work of the last decades, you’ll always find some photos of smoking women. It was just normal. But now sometimes I really feel kind of a satanic pleasure to put the smoke in the center of some photo series.
one more smoking beauty
So, if you do not smoke – that’s ok with me. I really do understand, that you don’t like your clothes to stink from tobacco after leaving a restaurant and I really do understand, that you don’t like to inhale smoke while having your meal. I even understand, if you don’t want to kiss me just because I’m a heartily smoker, although I kiss good and you might miss something
But hey, come back down to earth and let there be room for different gustos and ways of life. Enjoy your passions, even if some others don’t like it, and let us smokers smoke the pipe of peace, while you… eh, what are you doing while we’re smoking?
castings and new photo productions May 13th, 2010
Finally spring seems to arrive here in Barcelona – quite late, but at least it looks as if the sun still exists and tries to break thru the clouds
But there are still those vulcanic clouds from Iceland that sometimes make it difficult to be sure to get a flight from or to Basel (Switzerland), thus making it kind of difficult to make concrete plans for concrete dates.
During these weeks I am organizing castings with many new prospective amateur models. The first series of castings already was quite promising and I am looking forward to the second one. If you are a nice young woman living in Barcelona (or visiting this beautiful city), you can still apply for a model job! Of course you are also cordially invited to point any beautiful and open minded girl to the guapamania model casting page .
As soon as the weather allows it, I finally want to shoot outside, too: on different locations of the city and on the beaches of the Costa Brava.
Bad weather, however, also has its advantages, too: it makes it a lot easier to stay inside in front of the computer to select the photos from the past shootings and to edit them, which is always very time consuming. And to be honest: I really, really prefer to do new shootings than to adjust colors and contrasts on the screen… But you want to see results, and so I also perform the less funny work that also is an important part of my profession, so that I can go on with the weekly updates on guapamania.
CU there!
Venus O’Hara publishes redhead photos with roses April 2nd, 2010
A few days ago I had another session with Venus O’Hara, the readhead fetish model. She just finished writing her book and needed some photos to accompany a poem that makes part of her book.

Today she published some of these beautiful photos on her blog under the title “Rose Flagellation”.
During the session we took many more photos, of course, but I just edited those few for Venus that will appear in her book. However, as soon as I find the time, visitors of my photo site www.guapamania.com will be able to see many more of these non-nude, but very erotic photos.
Mars meets Venus O’Hara March 23rd, 2010
Last spring I met a very special person in Barcelona: Venus. A beautiful young woman with long red hair, pale white skin, full of crazy ideas…
