Early life and modeling

Aiden Brady was born on 22 February 1966 in Harrow, England. He graduated from the University of Brighton.[ citation needed ]

Shaw was signed to Success Models in Paris and Sight Management Studio in Barcelona. [4] Shaw was photographed by Giampaolo Sgura for Hercules International magazine. [5] In 2013, he was the face of Bytom, a Polish fashion company. [6] In 2014, Shaw walked for Berluti. [7] He was featured by New Zealand menswear brand Working Style for their Autumn Winter 2014 campaign. [8] In 2016, Shaw reverted to his birth name as he continued to model for international brands like Massimo Dutti. [9]

Pornography

Brady adopted the last name "Shaw" in the early 1990s when he began working in gay pornography. [1] [10] He retired from the porn industry in 1999, but in 2004, he starred in another gay porn film with Hot House. [11] [12]

Writing

In 1991, Shaw collaborated with the New York artist Mark Beard to produce a limited edition publication titled Aiden. The book included several portraits of Shaw, with text written by both Beard and Shaw as a form of dialogue. [2]

Shaw published his first novel, Brutal, in 1996. Also in 1996, The Bad Press published a collection of his poems, If Language at the Same Time Shapes and Distorts our Ideas and Emotions, How do we Communicate Love? [13] He wrote two more novels: Boundaries (1997) and Wasted (2001), and an autobiography, My Undoing (2006) in which he discusses his life in the sex industry as a porn star and sex worker, his drug use, and his HIV status (Shaw was diagnosed HIV positive in 1997). [14] [15]
