Shamu Azizam was born in Atlanta, Georgia and is currently based in 29 Palms, California. His work encompasses several narratives and instinctual characters portrayed in a variety of landscapes. This form of play began at an early age drawing him to the practice of embodying figures of fantasy proportion. In 2010 he held a camera and traveled extensively by himself from Queenstown, New Zealand to Ten Sleep, Wyoming, what revealed his own tie to the natural world and art. After living transiently from coast to coast for two years he moved to Los Angeles in 2016 and began a chapter in adult film entertainment. Self subjecting his body to camera brought about an eroticism he later yielded to the Mojave desert. Mirroring the vast landscapes with poses that seem to frame characters frozen in time.
