About me:


mikeruiz.com

Hailing from Montreal Canada and now based in New York, Ruiz is best known for his high-impact, surreal brand of fashion and celebrity photography. He frequently shoots the hottest new stars for countless American and international magazines. Among the impressive list of subjects that have stood before Ruiz’s lens are Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Zac Efron, Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce Knowles, Hayden Panetierre, Jessica Alba and the Jonas Brothers. He tried acting – starring in the classic cult independent film, Latin Boys Go to Hell – but again, found the work unsatisfying. “After the breakout success of the film, I was asked to audition for several major studio films but my heart wasn’t into it,” he acknowledges. “I wasn’t passionate about acting and it showed.” Discovering one’s passion is a gift that sadly, not everyone receives. Ruiz, however, did and his arrived as a Christmas gift. “At 28, I found a camera under my Christmas tree and within minutes, I was obsessed. I began shooting everything in sight. I taught myself the intricate mechanics of the camera but it was several years before I realized that I could actually make a living with my work.” In addition to his impressive list of advertising and celebrity clients, he has also branched out as a director doing music video for artists such as Kelly Rowland, Jody Watley, Traci Lords, Kristine W and new pop sensation Shontelle. He also made his feature film directorial debut in 2007 with “Starrbooty” starring Rupaul which sold out film festivals here and abroad. Mike Ruiz’s expertise behind the camera and his flair in front of it have landed him on several reality shows including “My Life on the D-List”, “America’s Next Top Model” and the highly anticipated “RuPaul's Drag Race” (appearing as a celebrity photographer and guest judge. Mike is also developing a scripted television show with writer Benjamin Morgan based on a group of elitist gay men living in Los Angeles called “The 10 10’s” Mike’s entrepreneurial skills led him to co-found Miauhaus Studios, the elite Los Angeles photography complex featuring four full-service photo studios. This holiday, Ruiz fans will be able to purchase his work. Shutterlounge, the online art gallery created by him and curator Frank Roller will make limited edition Ruiz prints available to collectors.
