法裔多米尼加摄影师卡拉·伊拉尔多·沃洛在成长过程中一直听到一个不变的警告：“永远不要和多米尼加人约会。”在《Hola Mi Amol》中，伊拉尔多·沃洛回到多米尼加共和国，将她镜头对准了她遇到的众多男性，其中大多是从事旅游业工作的男性。在这本充满魅力、温柔且性感的处女作中，她探索了欲望、性和爱情。她以感性、非摆拍、大多为裸体的照片记录了与她产生联系的男性，这些照片中还穿插着她们亲密相遇时脆弱的自画像。配以简短的文字，《Hola Mi Amol》展开了一个既激烈、又有趣且富有同情心的故事。在多米尼加共和国，没有母亲、姨妈或祖母（她们都在那里坠入爱河、结婚或生子）的陪伴，也避开了那里男性亲戚的视线，沃洛在爱情、X行为和友谊中“允许”的边界上释放自我。不可避免地，她对这一边界的记录带上了我们这个时代常有的残酷孤独感的痕迹。伊拉尔多·沃洛对S情、男子气概、文化和种族身份以及女性凝视地位的好奇心，在这本狡黠而惊人的C女作中跃然纸上。

French-Dominican photographer Karla Hiraldo Voleau grew up with one constant warning: “Never date a Dominican.” In Hola Mi Amol, Hiraldo Voleau returns to the Dominican Republic to cast her gaze on the bodies of the many men she meets, mostly men working in the tourism trade. There, she explores desire, sex, and love in this luscious, tender, and sexy debut. Her sensual, unstaged, mostly nude, photos of the men she connects with are punctuated by vulnerable self-portraits of their intimate encounters. Accompanied by short texts, Hola Mi Amol unfolds into a story that is at once fierce, funny, and compassionate. In the DR without her mother, aunt, or grandmother (all of whom had fallen in love, married, or had a child there), and out of sight of her male relatives there, Voleau frees herself to the borders of what feels "allowed" in love, sexuality, and friendship. Inevitably, her document of this edge carries a trace of the often brutal loneliness of our times. Hiraldo Voleau’s curiosity about eroticism, virility, cultural and racial identities, and the status of the female-gaze vibrates through the pages of this sly and stunning debut.
