the signature series

Horror Pinups

Gothic pin-up girls, bleeding hearts and black roses — shot and drawn in the same neon-soaked world. REgz Horror Pinups is where the camera meets the comic book: part photo shoot, part pulp cover, all ghoulfriend energy.

ExGhoulFriendz — a crying ghoul pin-up girl tearing up love letters amid bleeding hearts and black roses, framed in a pink neon diner-sign border — artwork by REgz / George Regz

ExGhoulFriendz started it: his original ghoul muse, Valentina Vesper — tears, torn love letters, hearts that bleed on cue. The Horror Pinups shoots take that world off the page and in front of the lens: horror-glam styling, vintage pin-up poses, neon-noir light, and just enough fake blood to ruin a good dress.

Every shoot is directed like a cover — because half the time, it becomes one. Horror Pinups is a living series: new ghouls drop here first, and their stories continue over in MonstruaSaña — the world they all live in.

Fashion

Backstage chaos, final fittings and the walk itself. Years of fashion weeks and designer editorials — including the Raul Peñaranda shows — shot the way they actually feel: glamorous, frantic and gone in a flash.

Portraits

Nobody leaves a REgz portrait looking ordinary. Crowns, gold leaf, octopus jewelry, bunny masks — portraiture pushed until it turns into mythology.

Photojournalism

Before the neon, there was the street. Wrestling rings, circus aerialists, gallery openings and 3 a.m. weirdness — documentary work with the same eye for the theatrical, because real life in Miami never needed much help.

Press

For three years, if it was on the cover of Miami's AMBIENTE Magazine, the camera was probably his — drag royalty, go-go gods, pop provocateurs and more glitter than the printing press could legally hold.

Bio

REgz (George Regz) directing on a film set, clipboard in hand beside a cinema camera on a dolly track with crew and lighting rigs — behind-the-scenes photograph — On set — REgz directs productions, not just stills.

REgz (George Regz) in his 80s windbreaker taking a mirror selfie in his neon room, 'Good Times Only' sign and lava lamp glowing behind him — photograph by REgz / George Regz — Home base — the neon room, Madrid ⇄ Miami.

REgz — George Regz — is a Cuban-American photographer and creative director split between Madrid and Miami, and between two worlds: high-gloss fashion editorial and full-throttle horror-glam.

He built his name shooting magazine covers and fashion weeks, then dragged all of it into the dark: the Horror Pinups series, the ExGhoulFriendz artwork, and an 80s neon room that has become a set, a signature and a second home. He shoots and directs — stills, editorials and full productions.

He is also the creator of MonstruaSaña and the Monstrua Social Club — the Madrid-meets-Miami universe this site lives next door to.
