Divas of Compton

An ongoing project in Compton, CA. A few words from Coach Kehli, the Director and Founder of the Divas of Compton:

Amidst the chaos in the city of Compton, beautiful and delicate roses of all colors and variations grow from the concrete. Here is where we celebrate these beautiful roses and call them DIVAs. These girls are more than the statistics and stereotypes placed on them; they are Divine Innovative Virtuous Angels who have a story to tell. Using dance as their form of communication, the DIVAs of Compton deliver a powerful message about the everyday life experiences they face as teenage girls trying to find their way in the community, and their place in the world.

Nico is a French photographer whose inspiration comes from familiar fragments of everyday life. He is drawn to experiences that bring people together, taking a collaborative approach with his subjects to celebrate them, most often through movement and proximity. Nico’s goal is to capture universal moments in diverse environments through his intimate style of photography. He works swiftly and collaboratively, bringing a sense of curiosity and open-mindedness to projects.

After 15 years in Los Angeles, Nico is now based in France.

Nico est originaire du sud-ouest de la France. Influencé par l’écriture documentaire, il trouve l’inspiration dans la narration des moments ordinaires, ceux qui charment par leur discrétion, leur normalité. Toujours curieux, il préfère s’approprier une scène plutôt que la construire de zéro, s’immerger au cœur d’une action plutôt que d’observer, passif, en marge de l’intensité des émotions. 

Après quinze ans passés à Los Angeles, il vit désormais en France.
