LA native Gabriel âGabeâ Shaddow is a creative director, photographer, producer and designer. You have mainly seen him as a photographer for Ty Dolla $ign in recent works. We recently caught up with him to talk about THE MVMNT, what made him become a photographer, and capturing moments of Ty$’ Donât Judge Me tour. RESPECT.: What made you get into photography? Pretty interesting story, at least to me haha. I bought a camera, Canon t4i, six years ago when I was in a pretty bad relationship and I never used it. When things ended and thatâs where this all started. I was so depressed that I started going to shows at Echo Parkâs Highlight room âLowend Theoryâ and âHAMONEVERYTHINGsâ shows to distract myself. I started taking photos of all these artists, when later it became my therapy. Afterward, it became addicting by collecting all these shots that eventually I started sneaking into to bigger shows and finessing my way to taking photos of my favorite artists which I listed too. Which lead me here.
