Harke Returns to St. Martin to Work on New Book

Jerry Harke, an internationally acclaimed photographer whose work has frequently included Caribbean sites and the beauty of models found on St. Martin will return to the island December 5 to continue work on a new book titled Beauty Revealed. Harke plans to publish the new book in 2010. “St. Martin is a special place for me and the charm of both the island and the people who live there has and will continue to inspire me,” Harke said.

Four well-known models from the United States will also accompany Harke to work with him beginning December 12 on St. Martin. They include Mary Riley, an actress and singer from New York City, Angela Mills, a model and student from Baltimore, Maryland, Azcra Woodward, a photographer and model who splits her time between New York City and Northern Virginia, and Valerie Whitaker, a professional model from New York City.

In previous visits to St. Martin, Jerry Harke completed work on his first book titled The Edwardian Lawn Dress: Gentle and Timeless. He also used locations and models found on St. Martin to complete a landmark book of 408 pages filled with black and white figure art. That book, which includes a special guest portfolio of work from St. Martin photographer, Jean Vallette, is called Nu Art en Noir et Blanc.

“I always welcome the opportunity to audition local St. Martin models for my projects and encourage them to contact me by email at jerry@jrharkephotography.com to schedule a brief introduction and review. Models chosen for this project will appear both clothed and in nude figure art.”

Jerry Harke is also an author who has published three novels and resides in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. He travels frequently to faraway places to further his photographic work and to develop story lines for new works of fiction. In 2010, he will be completing work in Germany and Russia.
