los angeles men's fashion and beauty photographer ronald n. tan

I updated my website with with “Personal Project” menu. I uploaded a “My Kryptonite” gallery consisting of my now muse #2 Sukh. I uploaded nude photographs of Sukh from Personal Project. I think I am infatuated with Sukh. He’s adorable and handsome.

Sukh is pronounced “Sook.”

I am continuing my regal and classy studies of male nudes and my friend Sukh whom I met in July 2008 stopped by today and helped me. I feel that when shooting nudes–TRUST must be established and earned.

I’ve been pushing myself towards the borderline for art’s sake and these images were produced in good taste and class.

Prototype images.

If you’re an ethnic male model with multi-ethnicities and would like to further assist me with the Personal Project, please follow the instructions on my website: http://www.ronaldntan.com/

When Sukh arrived, I had chai ready. Before he left, I made him a Burmese Papaya shake–his first time and he enjoyed it.

On Friday, I got to add Hasan as my third East-Indian (Pakistani) male model.

Hasan is a recent alumnus of the University of California, Berkeley Pre-dental program. He wants to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Hasan has this “surfer dude” attitude and personality–which was funny and made me smile. He would use words like, “Awesome” or “Man!” or “Dude.” He is an all around great guy and I was glad to meet him and add him as my 3rd East-Indian (Pakistani) male model.

Castings on Modelmayhem.com are a hit or miss. The majority of the male models do not read. Here is the link to the casting: http://www.modelmayhem.com/casting.php?ccid=339295. Notice how I CAPITALIZED the READ CAREFULLY and LOS ANGELES MALE MODELS?

On the 26th February, 2009, I received a submission from Ash and he followed my instructions. I normally don’t meet models prior to the shoot, but I had to meet with Ash. We met on the first of March at my favorite Indian restaurant in Artesia called “Ashoka the Great” on Pioneer Blvd.

These are my photographs from our quickie test on the 3rd of March, 2009:

Ash wants to get representation with LA Models so I helped setup an interview at LA Models. I wish Ash the best of luck! Great guy with wonderful personality.

I wanted to do a special shout out to my “unofficial” bhaiya in Mumbai, Sayan Surroy. I met him on ModelMayhem.com. He lives in a country where I want to retire or live down the road. I love India and its vast history and culture.
