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.

Landscapes in the fog.

Over the years I have studied the work of Ansel Adams, Elliot Porter, John Shaw and a few other great landscape and nature photographers, but I have never really shot any landscapes being a portrait and wedding photographer in Springfield, Ohio. One reason is that I love the grand openness of the west, which all you have in Ohio when you shot wide is power poles and telephone lines in the way. Then a few weeks ago, It click when I was driving to work one morning in the fog. The fog makes the land beautiful and helps to hide the human added elements. So here are a few from that week in the foggy mornings hours just after the sun rise.

goddessangie bridal shoot

I shoot some bridal portraits of this very beautiful young lady last weekend as part of building a wedding portfolio for my photography business, BK Shuman Photography, based out of Springfield, Ohio. Sorry guys, she is getting married in a couple of months. The dress she has is just beautiful and new. It was her first time wearing it.

If you know of anyone in need of a photographer, pass my name around. That is BK Shuman Photography based in Springfield, Ohio shooting weddings, portraits, fashion and models.

I found this great model, goddessangie, on Model Mayhem.

Being a portrait/wedding photographer and

a farmer in Springfield, Ohio I tend to use

what I know, in this case a hay field. Thanks

to Jay for letting us use his field and hay bale.

The other photos were shot in my garage.

I can't wait to get her back in front of my lens.

With this shoot I have found my vision for

photographic art. The fur stole is real we believe.

My step daughter Caroline found it in the trash this past year. Great find.

Been awhile.

Hi all. O.k it's been awhile since I last posted. Sorry, but been real busy farming and retouching summer shoots. So here is some news.

The old white barn at the North Farm is now gone. (pics soon). We hit the summer arts fest in Springfield, Ohio this year a couple of times. I got some great shots of Colin Hay, the formal front man for Men at Work. He put on an ok show for not having a band back him up. He don't look the same as he did in the 80's, aged some. Don't we all. LOL

This past Sunday, I took the wife and kid with me up to Mid-Ohio raceway for The Honda 200 indy car race. They both got red as can be, but that's what they get for only going out in the sun two days a year. LO

Scott Dixon won the race. I got some killer pics. (will post soon).

That is what I have been up too since my last post, so you see I shoot assignments that don't have pretty models involved all the time.

Speaking of pretty girls the model above is Heather Clum from Springfield, Ohio. I shoot her one day last month to add some bridal, wedding and glamour photographer to my portfolio, which I might add is advancing rather nicely. I will soon have it back online.

Scott Dixion wins The Honda 200 at MId-Ohio.

Some pics from Sunday's race.
