About B. Skow:
B. Skow has been a major force in adult entertainment for the past 20 years, from one of the most accomplished commercial and fashion photographers in Los Angeles to directing award-winning porn. In 1992, at the age of 21, Skow moved to Los Angeles and landed a photographer’s assistant job on a box cover shoot of a major adult studio. Though he only caught glimpses of the glamorous shoot, it was enough to change his life. He worked his way up the entertainment industry ladder, and began shooting Hollywood celebrities like Pamela Anderson, as well as covers and layouts for the most prominent men’s magazines. By 1994, he was back photographing adult box covers, layouts, and advertisements. With years of experience under his belt, Skow began directing movies in 2005. He has been nominated multiple times by AVN and XBIZ for Best Director and Best Screenplay, and many of his movies over a wide array of genres, including blockbuster “The Condemned,” have all received AVN awards. The famed director’s new studio, Skow Digital, offers him full creative control and ownership over all his content, from story-driven features to gonzo, vignettes, and niche porn.
