Derrick Santini: Kyle De'Volle • Quazar Magazine's Existing Activism issue • Project info +
Photographed by Derrick Santini for Quazar Magazine's Existing Activism issue (August 2020), this portrait series celebrates individuality, self-expression and the freedom to exist beyond convention.
Featuring performer, model and creative force Kyle De'Volle, the photographs challenge traditional ideas of gender, identity and representation through a bold visual language that embraces transformation and reinvention. Confident, confrontational and unapologetically theatrical, the images place self-expression firmly at the centre of the frame.
Created during a period of significant cultural and social change, the series reflects wider conversations around visibility, inclusivity and the evolving nature of identity. Rather than presenting a fixed version of the subject, Santini celebrates complexity, fluidity and personal agency.
The resulting portraits are both fashion-forward and deeply human, capturing a subject whose individuality becomes the work's greatest strength.
