The former cover model spent time in front of the camera striking a pose, but now, he's behind the lens as one of the world's most sought after fine art photographers.
“I love movement. I love colors as well," Gomez says. "It depends. You never know where you will get inspired. New York has a different vibe, a different energy."
The New York-based photographer has published two books featuring his best works. One is called "Visual Vibrations". The other is called "Dimensions".
He's a darling of the fashion industry. Fashion insiders keep an eye on his work when they look for inspiration.

He's most proud of a piece of work that President Bill Clinton now owns.
You can see Javier's work just about anywhere, even in high-end interior design offices.
"We love having Javier’s art in our space because it really punctuates our furnishings, and it just seems like a natural fit," says Robert Passal, an interior designer.
With an eye for design, color and style, Javier Gomez is trendsetting both on and off the runway.
