Originally from New York City, Shaun began modeling at the age of sixteen. He began his career with Djamee Models in New York City, who represented him for a year and a half, and is now signed with APM MODELS.
The road to Shaun’s success in fashion has not always been receptively positive and he has encountered negative feedback because of his albinism, a look that might not appeal to all clients. “I was told that I may never do certain campaigns, editorials, etc., because I am not ‘consumer’ enough. Meaning that I am not your every day person who walks the street,” he says.
In his two years as an emerging model, Shaun has been featured in campaigns for Pravda Vodka and SKRAPPER. Shaun was recently featured on the TYRA show along with fellow albino model Diandra Forest discussing their careers and overcoming the stigma of albinism.
Shaun has begun to build a portfolio that shows that he can pretty much do it all.
Shaun Ross was most recently featured in Katy Perry’s “E.T”
