Midwest Photo Tour for New Book Complete

Jerry Harke has recently completed three tours of the midwest taking photos of models. Their pictorials will appear in his next book due out in 2011. The new book will be called Beauty Revealed.

"I don't often get to the midwestern states," Harke said. "That's why I was especially pleased that family business took me on four trips there during 2009 and early 2010.  

"I had the good fortune to work with ten models from Edmond, Stillwater, Norman and Lawton, Oklahoma, Elkhart, Kansas, Amarillo, Dallas and Houston, Texas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico."

Explaining that Beauty Revealed will show models clothed, partially clothed and nude, Harke said, "It's my intent with this book to show the female form in all its beauty whether that be with clothes or not."

Harke added, "The book will include a few pictorials in which females are shown in passionate exchanges with one another.  

"I dedicated an entire book to sapphic love a few years ago. It was called In Sappho's Secret Garden. But frankly, I find images of beautiful women engaged sensually with one another twice as beautiful and, after all, this book is called Beauty Revealed, so why not?"

"It's no secret that I regard the female form as one of the most beautiful sights the eye can behold. 

"In a previous book titled Nu Art en Noir et Blanc, I presented the female form in black and white in both studio and outdoor locations. Beauty Revealed can be considered an extension of that effort, but with the glory of beautiful color seen everywhere!

When asked what other locations will be appear in the forthcoming book, Harke said, "I plan to photograph models soon in and around Seattle, Washington. After that, I will be working with models in Germany, Austria and Russia. When that tour is finished, the creation of the book will begin!"
