Hot Takes: Edji Da Silva, Arno Antino, And Dillon Roman
Edji Da Silva
Born in Marseille, France, Edji Da Silva brings exactly the kind of intensity you’d expect from a man who makes a living in front of a camera. The actor and model appeared on DNA Magazine’s pages once, shot by photographer Adomako Aman, and the images made it very clear why he keeps getting booked. Dark, focused, and completely at ease, Edji is the type of man who photographs well from every angle.
Arno Antino
Montreal clearly has something in the water. We’ve had Arno Antino on our pages more than once now, and each time it feels like you’re seeing him for the first time. Based in Montreal and regularly working across Canada, Arno has a natural ease in front of the camera that photographers respond to immediately. After shooting with him in Toronto, photographer Paul J put it plainly: “Keep an eye for Arno as I’m sure you will be seeing a lot of him in the future.” Given the response he gets, that prediction is holding up just fine.
Dillon Roman
The secret behind Dillon Roman’s shoot is that he’s a trained ballet dancer. That background gives him a body awareness and physicality that very few models develop naturally. When photographer Ashton Jay captured him for DNA Magazine, the results spoke for themselves. “As a trained ballet dancer, Dillon’s beautiful, fluid movements made for a stunning shoot,” Ashton said. And looking at those frames, it shows.
