Rafael Silva Unbuttons In Seductive Photoshoot For The Men’s Style Brasil
Rafael Silva steps out of police blues and into clean, confident lines in a fresh editorial for TheMenStyle’s Brasil, lensed by fashion photographer Dean Isidro. The black-and-white frames favour stillness and posture over gimmicks, letting Silva’s physique and calm stare do the work. TheMenStyle’s site and socials credit Isidro and confirm the Los Angeles shoot details.
Silva built a loyal following as Officer Carlos Reyes on 9-1-1: Lone Star, then pivoted this winter to The Waterfront, Kevin Williamson’s Netflix crime drama. On the series he plays Shawn West, a bartender orbiting the powerful Buckley family while guarding a secret that threatens their grip on the coast. Netflix’s own cast guide and multiple outlets confirm the role and setup.
What he says about Shawn.
“He is audacious,” Silva told Netflix’s Tudum. “Shawn is a man of action. He has this big heart, but he does not back down.” That reads on screen, and it’s part of why the new images land so well: the character’s quiet tension mirrors the editorial’s stripped-back mood.
The Waterfront premiered on June 19 and found a sizeable audience, then was not renewed in late August. Local North Carolina outlets and industry round-ups attributed the news to Netflix’s broader slate decisions, noting the show’s strong early performance. The first season remains available to stream.
At DNA, we appreciate when a shoot respects its subject’s control. Isidro’s frames don’t overwork the brief. They give Silva the space to project presence without noise, which is the same quality that made Shawn West intriguing week to week. Ready to see why he dominates a frame?
