Casting for Commercial Models females and males.

Bryan Shuman, BK Shuman Photography, is now casting for commercial models. These photographs will be submitted to stock agencies. Models are required to fill out and sign commercial model releases plus a usage contact for any images that you receive. Must have a picture ID.

As I have a tight budget, I will only pay models that will do a trade test shoot first. If I feel you can sell the look then I will book you for a few paying gigs later in the summer and over the winter.

If you don't need a commercial style to your portfolio, I will shoot another style for you as trade.

If interested send stats and a recent photo that is clean with no makeup to bryan@bkshumanphotography.com.

Thanks,
Bryan Shuman

Spring Road Safety Tip

Yes, it is spring again, which means us farmers are on the road with our big green, red, yellow, or blue equipment. Forgive me if I have forgotten any other colors. Please be safe, treat us as an emergency vehicle. Slow down and pull over to the right, as most equipment is wider than one side of the road. That means we have the right of way. A 15 ft wide or wider piece of equipment and a small car cannot pass on a small two lane bridge. If we meet in the middle, it will mess up your car more than it will my equipment. You will receive the ticket.

Most times, we travel only 15 - 25 mph in the middle of the road. I am in the middle of the road because mail boxes and other things are too close to the road. When able, most farmers will move over as far as possible so that you may pass. When this happens, PASS, damnit! I personally give two chances. Please don't flip us off, it's rude. It only pisses us off, and we might hit a bump and wipe you out as you drive by. Please remember, we farmers feed your asses!

The shot above is of Angele, from a few weeks ago.

So it has been a while since my last post. The fall harvest is done and year end paper work is done. Now I can get back to my photography. Here are a few of Cat from over the summer.

Beauty of the female form...

Nudity in art has been around since the caveman days. The stick figures drawn on cave walls were the first nude drawings. Since those days, art lovers have been fascinated by and drawn to the nude form. (Especially us males with that of the female form.) To me nothing compares to the beauty and grace that God gave the female form upon creation. Size does not matter in art nor should it in life. The ideal of the perfect proportion human form is always changing. What is hot today is not tomorrow. I am not all that keen on the whole size double zero thing. I like the female form to have some curves to it and not bones poking out all over the place. Tattoos can also distract the viewers' eyes from the natural travel of the eye over the form.

What is an art nude to me or you? My thoughts are that the form should be the main focus. The piece of art should say something to the artist. In my own work I hear "Beautiful". I hope when you view my art work you hear something similar.
