Dave Naz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dave Naz (born in 1969 in Los Angeles, California) is a notable erotic and glamour photographer.
Since 1998, his photographs have appeared in more than thirty shows in galleries worldwide. His work has been featured in Black + White, FHM, GQ, Leg World, Maxim, Nerve, Salon.com, Stern, and other prominent venues. He is already the author of four well-received books with Goliath Press: Lust Circus (2002), Panties (2003), Legs (2004), and Fresh: Girls of Seduction (2006). Though self-taught, his work has been praised by cultural artists as diverse as Lydia Lunch, Richard Kern, Gregory Dark, and Nina Hartley.
Chas Ray Krider describes Dave Naz as "a true southern California artist." He continues:
His sexy imagery is casual without pretense. When one looks beyond the surface, the work is seen as much more: a cultural artifact giving clues to the sexual identities and persona of our time.
Dave Naz left high school and Southern California as a teenager (in 1987) to make music, packing clubs from the Rathskeller to the Marquee. With no formal training in photography, Naz picked up a camera (in 1995) and started to photograph people.
School's never been the way for me. A lot of my favorite writers — Bukowski, Fante, Jim Carroll — they didn't write from school. They wrote from the street. Capturing emotion in less than a second's time is unlike any other form of documentation.
Dave Naz currently lives in the Hollywood Hills. Naz is also working on a film for the new altporn label, Vivid-Alt, an off-shoot company founded by fellow altporn director Eon McKai of the famous porn studio.
Currently lives with girlfriend, Ashley Blue, who is a well-known porn-star.
Once dated artist/actress, Barbara Ann Crumm .
