New feature of LIKE A RIVER for Vogue @photovogue written by @alessiaglaviano This one feels significant. I met Alessia at Photo Vogue in Milan in 2017 and she has since remained a friend and mentor. She also helped me move through many edits and iterations of this project over the years. So to read her reflections here feels monumental, in a full circle kind of way. Thank you, Alessia! “It has been a pleasure to see him grow as an artist. His work moves me deeply—it’s authentic, delicate, poetic, never voyeuristic, and it comes from a place deep inside him. His debut monograph is the result of one of the most beautiful projects that I have seen in years. Daniel is part of a new generation of artists who are socially conscious, aware of the inherently political nature of images, who use their lenses as a tool for change. Their work, whether it revolves around fashion, portraiture, or the arts, is imbued with issues of gender, representation, identity, race, breaking stereotypes, clichés, and conforming representations. With Like a River, Daniel continues his long-term commitment to visualising the social and political rights of underrepresented communities. In this case he explores notions of identity, transformation, and coming-of-age narratives within marginalized communities at the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Like a River is like a poem, a love letter to the subjects and the nature that are in it. Page by page, he is able to render not only the physicality of the places portrayed, but the emotions, the sounds, the smells, or the absence thereof. “ Read the interview on PhotoVogue via link in my stories
