Hello hello, Shawn Merz here. I’m a creative director, photographer, and director that specializes in direct-to-consumer brands. With art from UCLA, typography from Switzerland, a fashion sense honed from Italians, and Hollywood production expertise, I bring a global sophistication to your projects.
I’ve collaborated with direct-to-consumer brands like Thirdlove, Bonobos, and Mack Weldon, as well as luxury clients such as Christie’s and Four Seasons. From sleek car shoots over LA to PSAs with Martha Stewart and 50 Cent, I deliver. Need a brutalist German design system? Easy. Documenting a silk reeler on the Turkish-Syrian border? Let’s do it.
I’m here to innovate and deliver. Check out my portfolio and let’s make magic.
