My name is Cole Willis (De Martin) and I’m a New-York based photographer, visual artist, and filmmaker. I’m a second-generation Mexican-American who grew up in between Mexico, California, and Texas. The interest of my work lies in exploring narratives that exist as a culmination of the relationships between human desire, reclamations of youth, unbounded expression, and strife among the many obstacles of life which has developed into my own visual and photographic language, echoing avant garde fashion imagery into documentarian pictures that serve to represent my gaze of those around and close to me, incorporating a vital sense of intimacy that manifests in my subject matter as well as visual culture. My work has been published in i-D Magazine, and has been recognized by the San Francisco International Film Festival (SFFILM), LA Shorts International Film Festival, New York Latino Film Festival, Breckenridge Film Festival, YoungArts Foundation & Mix Creative Space Exhibit.
