Dilayla Romeo

Dilayla Romeo is a Mozambique-based photographer. Through her conceptual lens, she examines and creates intimate connections to her subjects and uses photography as a way to understand and investigate her place in the world. Since moving from Spain to Maputo, where her family is from, she has used her photography and intercontinental perspective as a means to connect to and help build up the creative network in the city. The primary goal of the Artist News Network is to share critical, creative, and diverse approaches to consuming and understanding news media and current events. Because of this it is vitally important to host voices and visions from all over the world, and we are eager to see the views of the news that Dilayla will bring us this week.⁠

Her work aims to explore analogies of human identity and create a personal point of view around varying subjects such as people, spaces, and investigations of colors. She develops a relationship with her subjects by building visual narratives that explore concepts of the human identity. She is interested in capturing the beauty of the ordinary, and the simple things in life from a conceptual perspective.⁠
