David Shama

David Shama (born February 3, 1977) is a Swiss photographer living in New York City. He is known for his art and fashion work. He began taking photographs in 2005 and quickly gained recognition with his documentary style and narrative cinematic portraiture. Shama has lived in Argentina, Paris, Los Angeles and New York–every place merely acting as a temporary respite from his unending personal quest to drive toward an undefinable horizon point. The faces he encounters, and the landscapes he maps, complete the story not only of the girls he travels with, but also of his desire to art direct the real into the hyper-real.
