The First Vanity Fair Cover Shot By Black Photographer Dario Calmese Features Viola Davis
Dario Calmese has made history by being the first black photographer to shoot the cover for Vanity Fair. Academy Award-winning actress Viola Davis graces the July/August cover.
The issue features Davis speaking on her journey from poverty to the big screen and the Hollywood woes.
“My entire life has been a protest,” Davis says. “My production company is my protest. Me not wearing a wig at the Oscars in 2012 was my protest. It is a part of my voice, just like introducing myself to you and saying, ‘Hello, my name is Viola Davis.’” https://t.co/izJBKTFrt7
