Dave Naz at Artist Bound Gallery in Los Angeles, June, 2006

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 - Charles Bukowski, John 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.

In January of 2007, Naz married his girlfriend, adult actress Ashley Blue

"L A Bondage"

L. A. Bondage

Dave Naz is sticking to a formula that works - and it's paying off for him. Like his previous books (Fresh, Legs, Panties, and Lust Circus), L. A. Bondage is populated with attractive, glamorous young ladies who are willing to strut and pose in in accord with his fetish-flavored vision. Beauty plays as big a role here as does the bondage element. Even when his subjects are tied-up and hoisted into trees, they seem light and effervescent, even delighted with their predicament. His distressed damsels are absolutely dreamy to behold - and that's very likely what Naz intended.

Once again, Goliath hits a home run on production quality. This 10x7" volume is 157 pages of exquisite photography matched equally by it's flawless production.
