February 10th, 2008 David ‘Shadi’ Perez :: Photography

Having done fashion shoots for anyone from BBC to Anything to W)Taps and directed video for anyone from Cypress Hill and House of Pain to American Eagle Outfitters, David Perez, or Shadi as he is known, is according to his bio…

…one of the most compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his ability to capture the spirit of whomever appears before his lens, Shadi’s vision is nothing less than stark, engaging, and consistently provocative.

A 60’s child, born in New York City and raised in Bronx; Shadi was heavily influenced by his creative parents. He was exposed to Simon and Garfunkel, Broadway Soundtracks and Latin Jazz Fusion at a very young age. His first exposure to photography was in viewing pictures his father took skydiving with his Leica during his service in the military. Those photos left an indelible mark on the young man and kicked off a passion that he has carried throughout his life.

Here are just a few of his pictures that you can check out at on his PAGE or check out his regularly updated BLOG.
