Dave
Naz
Born in Los Angeles in 1969, Dave
Naz grew up at the intersection of Beverly Hills glamour and Hollywood
grime. 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.
In 1987, his teenage years not yet behind him, Naz left high school and
Southern California to make music and play along side bands including
Nirvana, the Ramones, Mud Honey, L7, and others, packing clubs from the
Ratskeller to the Marquee. In 1995, with no formal training, Naz picked up
a camera and started photographing people.
Since 1997, Naz's 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, Stern.de, and other prominent
venues. He is already the author of three well-received books with Goliath
Press: Lust Circus (2002), Panties (2003), and Legs
(2004). Self-taught, his work has been praised by cultural artists as
diverse as Lydia Lunch, Richard Kern, Gregory Dark, and Nina Hartley. Dave
Naz lives in the Hollywood hills with his girlfriend, Barbara.
