The Cinematic World of Dylan Perlot

Catching up with Dylan Perlot, the French-born, based in Los Angeles photographer who continues to push his work to new heights. Over the past few years, Dylan’s imagery has graced the covers of international titles including Numéro Netherlands, Glamour Bulgaria, Nylon France, Harper’s Bazaar Serbia, and L’Officiel Austria, among others. His work reflects a blend of cultural influences, shaping a visual language that feels intuitive, refined, and emotionally driven. One of his latest editorials, created in collaboration with designer Lever Couture for Hunger Magazine, stands out for its precision and dreamlike quality, drawing the viewer into a world that feels both surreal and carefully constructed.

People will always be at the heart of Dylan’s work. Whether working with actors or music artists, his approach is rooted in creating images that feel honest and intimate. Over the years, he has collaborated with a growing list of talent including Hunter Doohan, Zane Phillips, Maggie Q, Skye P. Marshall, Heather Graham, Slayyyter, Rico Nasty, and Tkay Maidza, to name a few. In 2024, he photographed the number one French drag superstar Nicky Doll for an exclusive print cover with BELLO, shot at night along the iconic Sunset Boulevard, where his lighting and unique vision came together seamlessly.

Dylan’s practice extends beyond editorial into the world of advertising, where he has collaborated with brands such as Jeffrey Campbell, Harley-Davidson, Apple Music, Nasty Gal, and Andrea Carrano. Most recently, he photographed a campaign for Mistr featuring Grammy-winning artist Kim Petras. The images carry his signature aesthetic: sharp yet cinematic, with a softness that adds depth and atmosphere.

Dylan’s work has also earned multiple awards and international recognition, particularly for his projects Fleeting Dimensions (2023) and Sculpted Air (2026), both of which highlight his ability to merge fashion with narrative-driven imagery while reflecting critical recognition of his artistic contributions. Since 2020, he has served as a guest juror for the international photography and visual arts competition Camelback Gallery, further reinforcing his presence within the global creative community. Alongside growing press coverage, these achievements position him among a new generation of photographers shaping contemporary fashion imagery. At BELLO, we look forward to seeing what Dylan does next.
