Vogue Italia - PhotoVogue x Dash Kolos

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of shooting with new friend, fellow actor, and newfound documentarian (“Inside Color” - documenting my best friend Cavier Coleman), Dash Kolos. Her style is unmatched and so pure. It was a very different photoshoot for me at the time, as I like to move around, so my thing, and just be captured, but Dash’s style is far from that in many senses. She is a director, a guide, and someone who has a very particular vision.

Dash shoots in frames that are very different from most photographers; very artistic, cinematic, and obscure. She find beauty in the still.

I was honestly not sure how the shoot was going to go, as I had only seen some of her work and she was a new friend… I typically like to shoot with others who I know a bit more and know more about their work. Well, we know that magic can happen anytime anywhere, and I can say this is true of this shoot.

she caught me in various states, showcasing vulnerability, happiness, limbo, and existential thought. She brought attention to parts of me other than my face or emotion. And she captured me, ultimately, how she could see me.

The opportunity for PhotoVogue to feature our work is exciting, humbling, and a true honor. We are very lucky to be here and now, and I can only thank Dash for the opportunity to collaborate with her.
