- My visual diary where I share my thoughts about what its like to have cancer. I wanted to share my experience with you guys the best way I know how. Since this is taking up most of my life now a days I figured what better way to document it then through filmmaking.

So emotional making this for whatever reason. iIt took me like 5 days to actually edit this 4 minute video cause it was just too much... just visually I have to finally accept the fact I have cancer every time I look in the mirror. I truly do want to get back to making videos and interacting with yall but ive just been in too much pain and soooo tired. I will get back to it as soon as I can. I love you guys, talk to you soon.
take all the time you need, we’ll be here whenever you feel ready 🙌
can feel your pain through your voice 😢 stay strong bro 🙏
one day at time brother, we all understand.
Good luck man!!!!!
Sending you so much love, light and positive vibrations♥️
I got so emotional watching this video, so I can’t imagine how it felt to edit and post such a raw moment for the world to see-thank you for sharing it with us.
with or without your iconic hair, we will continue to love and support you for your kind heart and amazingly distinctive filmmaking & photography style. wishing you all the best, Vuhlandes 🤎
Your not sick and losing your hair, you lost your hair because your getting better. Your in my prayers, you got this.
When you get better your hair grows back. Not sure why you thought that would be comforting. Sick ppl don't like being lied to, it's patronizing.
@@Omni-King2099This was such an unnecessary comment. He’s loosing his hair because he’s getting better. The medicine is working but it’s also causing hair loss. You have no right to drag down a positive comment, especially on such an emotional topic
@@Omni-King2099 It's not actually a lie. Cancer does not take your hair. What takes your hair is the chemotherapy.
Fkn hell 4:25
@@Omni-King2099 yeah i was thinking the same thing lol
The triumph from this about to be so amazing bro, it's all adding to the story of life. Let's go do some shit, you know the vibes!
Prayers, light, and positive energy sent your way brother.
Blessings to you both!!
Reading this hit me in the chest
Amen!
1000% 🖤
Creating art from a situation like this is honestly amazing and proves how strong you are. Keep it up, everybody is rooting for you!

seriously
I love you bro. Currently battling cancer myself at 24. You’re an inspiration and we’ll make it through! Praying for you
You got this bro 🙏🏽
You got this 💪💪
sending love and prayers ❤
Keep going bro! I pray you get better and are cleansed of any any illness.
@@CalvinMOfficial Thank you brother I appreciate you! And everyone else showing love as well!
The sadness in your voice bro speaks so true 😭😭
I was crying while doing the voiceover smh
@@vuhlandes bro theres gotta be a way to make the cancer rid away itself..
@@Sowseap5858 there is ways!!
@@Sowseap5858 Frequency is the answer.
@@vuhlandesI feel your pain brother.
As a black man with long hair as well, I get it dude. I can't imagine what this does to impact your identity. Sending love and prayers, brothers.
Your identity isn't your hair, clothes, job, etc. That's all surface level
@@ReelNicePicsdoesn’t mean it can’t be significant to us
@@ReelNicePics Our hair is part of our identity. We live in a country that discriminates against our hair. So yes, our hair is part of our identity.
💯💯
I don't care what color a man or woman is what Vuh is going thru is so hard on so many levels and you better believe my hair is part of my identity-
Love you, brother. ❤ Proud of your strength.
The fact you can even think creatively through this traumatic experience shows the depth of your strength. Stay razor focused on your strength. I’ll definitely have you in prayer
I don't recognize you because of your hair. I recognize you for your immense talent and your big heart. And that will never change. You are an inspiration, I wish you the best, mate.
Beeing able to make art out of something like this is just the strongest shit ever! Keep beeing that strong brother, i believe that you got this!
As someone more than twice your age who fought cancer and won, stay strong man, you got this. You have a legion of support out here, as you do close to home. Know we all are thinking about you, and sending positive thoughts. Bismilah!
Probably the most cinematic self portrait of ill health I have ever seen. The creativity is bursting out of you despite this sickness. It's a perverse tragedy. My business partner and close friend is also currently in advanced cancer treatment.
Was devastated when I first saw your video announcing your illness. You cross my mind every now and then and I wonder how you're doing. Keep fighting, man. Thinking of you and cheering for you. Thanks for digging deep to share stuff like this. Fight on.
your hair is a part of you, but your essence not even cancer can eliminate. so, when everything passes, I know, you will still be you and we will be here waiting for you! God bless!
This brought tears to my eyes. I lost my hair due to alopecia. It was very hard and took years to come to terms with the fact that this is who I am. I am praying hard for you to win this battle and come out on the other side victorious. I have been watching you for years and was heartbroken when I saw you announce your diagnosis.
The comeback will be wild! Love and prayers, bro. #STILLVuhlandes
Those locs coming back as a sign of triumph. We’re rooting for you Vuh. Don’t stop fighting. We’re praying for you.
I fought stage 3 colin cancer at 15. It completely flipped my world upside down. You’ve got to be so mentally strong to get through treatment but just know that you can do it. As a fellow filmmaker, I see the beauty in using film as an outlet and a vice for who you are, you got this bro, keep going ❤️
You're amazing and know this...He was wounded for your transgressions, the chastisement that brought you peace was laid upon Him and by His stripes you are healed. It will grow back and you will be stronger and more radiant than before. Much love
I’m not on social media anymore and I’ve been just waiting for a sign here on YT that you’re still alive bro. Please keep on fighting.. we need you. ♥️🥺
In all honesty man I started crying 30 seconds into this. This was an amazing piece of work as always. I’m very proud to see you continuing you to push through and continue to be strong.💪
Losing your hair is significant part of your journey. Remember that your hair is just one part of who you are. It’s not everything. Your hair carries your wisdom, your hair is an external expression of your wisdom. It’s been 17 years since my 2 year old lost her hair in the battle of her life with Leukemia. I still remember holding her during her medical emergency and hair was coming out in large clumps as I held on to my bby girl. This memory still holds clear in my mind. Hair comes back…hold on to your life🌈🌈🌈your love and your memories💜
Been watching your stuff for a while, and brother, this hits so hard. My wife, my world, was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer March 2023. Six weeks after our daughter’s first birthday. Double mastectomy. 20 rounds of chemo. 6 weeks of radiation. Lost her hair in August. Dropped down to 99 lbs. Was damn-near bedridden through the holidays. It’s awful, man. I sat next to the love of my life for a year while she fought this thing, and while she’s thankfully on the road to recovery (finished treatment in Feb 2024. Her hair looks like Furiosa 😍) I’ve seen what this battle takes from you, and I wouldn’t wish this anguish on anyone. However, once you accept what’s happening, you realize this thing is what *you* make it. You are still forging your own path, and there are some crazy hard days, but I love how you see light in the journey. It completely changes the way you see the world. The way you take in each day. And the way you are capturing your journey is nothing short of profound. It goes so far beyond a beautifully produced piece. It’s an entirely new way to connect through this medium. You are so brave, brother. I send you nothing but light through every treatment, every dr. visit, every procedure while you work your way through this. The person you’ll be on the other side of this is going to be unstoppable.
This was so touching and uplifting. Prays to you and your family as well.
You're in my prayers. As someone who experienced this i can understand some of what you're going through. Losing my hair made the cancer feel more real, and i couldn't hide from it or pretend the scary stuff wasn't happening.
With that said, you're still you. You're very handsome, your eyes are beautiful, you have lips that people pay thousands for with lip injections, and your skin is still glowing. You'll get through this.
As someone with curly long hair, this broke me. Your hair being a part of your identity, a part of your being, is something that resonates with me. It's not only your self-perception, but it's also the way people have seen you for decades. Sending much love, Vuhlandes. You are a strong soul. ❤
Brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing. Sending love, you got this!
Cancer really sucks. Fingers crossed for a speedy and smooth recovery man. Sending you good vibes in the meantime. Rooting for ya
I want you to know that you inspire me, a middle-aged, middle-class, midwestern gal. I am praying for your full recovery because I care about you, but I also really want you to be in the world that I live in. I think you and your videos are brilliant. Thank you, Vuhlandes, for sharing your talent and your experiences.
You are a super power and a wonderful film maker -- this was so eloquent. I lost my hair from chemo, too, when I was 45., when it grew back it was different for a while, but then I was, too. People prayed for me and sent me energy and was like a blue blanket of love that I felt surround me -- I am sending that blanket to you now filled with love.
Man, even when you are sick you can still inspire people like me. Thank you.
I pray you get better. 🙏
Im not gonna lie. It took me and minute to watch this. When I initially saw you were losing you hair , it took me back to 2017 when my Auntie was losing her hair to chemo. I bursted out and tears and she told me not to be sad but it was the first time i realized she was actually sick fr. Youve inspired me with photography for years being that we’re all from MICHIGAN. Idk im not good with this kinda stuff and my heart aches that your even going through this but we goin get through this shit together Vuh ! Love from Battle creek , MI !!!
You inspired me to pick up a camera, you showed me that photography doesn’t have to be what we were told is correct. It can be everything you see in life as a black man the most precious and unique moments.
I feel your photos I see your visions you’ll always be Vuhlandes. I love you brother and we’re here until you get through the other side of this.
Vuhlandes will live Forever.
We're all here with you, brother. Rest up and get back to 100% The world needs you and your art. Your amassed 400k followers is a sign of that. You have big things ahead of you.
Damn. That's some real art here. There is so much strength in making videos like this in such hard times. You might lose your hair but you still have that camera of yours. Carry on no matter what
This community on here, IG, Twitter and all around the world is standing with you & will helps you get thru this journey. You were the first CZcams page I came across when I started my photography journey & I appreciate every last video you created / showcased. We love you and want you to continue to get better
Powerful video. Brought me tears almost instantly. Be strong man, keep fighting. People love you.
Got so teary eyed, you’re such an inspiration of how you can still create such mesmerising art in times of hardship. Beat the cancer! You got this!
I'm praying for you here in Brazil, know that you are an inspiration for someone so far away. You will get better, this is just another chapter in your life. God bless you!
Powerful message and beautiful storytelling.
What a powerful declaration at 30
I haven’t had a haircut in 25 years and started my locks 18 years ago. This hit home for me.
You’re one of the most talented people I’ve ever seen let the spirit world and the love around you guide you.
My lil nephew passed away 4 years ago to stage 4 brain cancer he was 13 he was my brother a true soldier never complained and stayed positive.
Damn. I knew you were sick but this really hits home. Hoping for a positive outcome
You are not loosing a part of yourself, you are becoming someone new. I hope you tap into new potentials you've never even dreamed about. Give this life your everything!
I can hear your sadness, and, I know how hard it is, but you are an inspiration to everyone, and personally, my favourite filmmaker, so just, stay strong. I know it is hard, but you have to stay strong, because you, are the greatest.
I’m not gonna lie…I saw so much strength in your weakness after you reveal yourself with all your hair shaved. To even shared this personal, emotional journey with us takes strength. Hair or no hair, you are made strong. Just keep the faith.
The emotion in your voice.. you got this man ! We all have faith in you. You are going to win, you're strong.. after all, you're Vuhlandes 💪🏼
A tragically beautiful documentation of what it's like to go through this. The symbolism of the last dread cut gave me chills. Rest up and get your strength back brother. You got this!
A punch in the stomach this video man! I wish you steady recovery! Lots of love and good thoughts your way!
This was such a powerful share. I know it wasn't easy. Thank you.
And not only are you still Vuhlandes, but I can't wait to see how much more of you be shining through when this is over.
We love you.
I’m not usually one to comment on anything but brother this impacted me so deeply. The strength to share something so real and personal says a lot about you. I think that those of us who have followed you admire that about you. You most definitely are resilient and if sharing makes you feel empowered and is healing to your mind, body and soul, then do it. But don’t feel pressured for a second to do anything for an audience. Do it all for yourself and if it’s not for you, at your pace, on your terms.. please don’t. We will be here waiting for you to gain your strength back. Your mind, body and soul are most important. Nurture those. Sending prayers, healing and positive energy your way.
Stay up King. Nothing but prayers and positive vibes your way.
Been following for a while now. Just know you've already impacted many lives out here without you knowing. I'm praying for you brother 🙏🏽
Beautiful video.
Stay strong brother. You’re an inspiration to us. ❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
You look amazing without the hair and you looked amazing with it. You have that uniqueness in your eyes and in your way of talking, wearing clothes and making these absolutely stunning cinematic videos. I hope you'll beat it and make a video named "I beat cancer"
Be strong and stay positive. I wish you strength as you fight through this, You're a winner man. 🙏
You are a great person, you are young and strong and you’ll win this battle, you’ll rebirth as fenix. Your hairs will come back, this is just a pause in your life. And after this nightmare your life as a person, as an artist and Vuhlandes will take you to another level. Just stay strong , everything will go well
You can get through this bro,we believe in you❤
I love you bro, be strong
Bro, don't forget that YOU are LIFE. Believe that anything you desire is possible. Even in hard time like this, trusting the universe that is all going to be good is the key to winning. Keep your head up and be proud that you are one hell of a talented artist who has inspired thousands of people on earth!
This is what we as creatives live for. turning our moments, our memories, our feelings into ART for others to appreciate and live through.
Much love.
💚
I'm just checking back in to see how you are doing.....
Same, I miss him I hope he’s okay I pray for him ❤
II love you vuhlandes. Hands down you were my biggest photography inspiration when you originally dropped the sticks and stones doc. To see the challenges you face, breaks my heart. But I know that you are capable and you are strong, vuh. Love u bro, keep your head up. you've impacted millions w your art in one way. I believe you will continue to do the same while also impacting new audience. God bless
we will get those Locks back my G. We are with you in the journey, can't say we know what you are going through, but positivity is in the community you built. Let no wall stop you.
You will always be Vuhlandes regardless of hair, cancer, everything.
Sending you love & strength ❤️
Your life is so beautiful💙 keep making these videos for the people that need it! This brought tears to my eyes
I was looking for another drop not long ago. I just came back to check while watching one of your videos. Im so glad to see you again!?
Your hair will grow back! It will!!!!!! I promise. When I look at you I still see you too.
And this was beautifully done. A masterpiece. 👏🏾
You got this, man! And hey, keep a smile on that face! You've got all to fight for, a temporary setback is nothing more than an unplanned pitstop on this long journey!
I lost my mom to cancer almost a year ago. I saw Will video and he alerted me to you. I’ve never met you but if we ever do I want to say thank you. Thank you for keeping Film Photography relevant.
I don’t know you personally but I’m proud of you and your courage. Yes, you’re STILL Vuhlandes and I’m so glad you were able to realise that. I genuinely will be praying for you. Take care ❤️
Can't believe this is the second video I've watched of yours. I just found your channel and was almost shocked because a lot of things you said about your hair aligns with me and I find it powerful that you used another part of yourself (filmaking) to highlight this change in your life. Much love
Man! Yoúre pure inspiration. My wife right now has cancer and i cannot say this is easy journey, but all i can know is that everything is gonna be fine. Things sometimes happens for a bigger reason that we could ever imagine. I will wait for your next video, don’t feel the pressure of the world, focus on you, on your health, meditate and we (all) will be here for you anytime. Just keep going… everyday is a opportunity.
A big hugh with all the love in the world from Mexico.
My man. I wish you for a speedy recovery. You are in my prayers. ❤
As someone who went through the same struggle. This hits home man. Praying for you.
God protecting you man, I feel so sad and this is my first time I see your channel😢
I feel such admiration for your strength, to be able to transform this immense pain of yours into art. You are an amazingly strong person, Vuhlandes. Stay strong, and I wish you recovery and health.
Vuhlandes I’ve been watching for 2 yrs and just recently starting watching you again as I start my journey into film and you inspire me so much! I’m making the trainsition frombeing a designer/artist to urban film maker and fashion photographer .Your creative process and vision is beyond it’s time and I hope you know that.
Cancer runs in my family on both sides so this hits so hard for me. I feel like a long distance relative is going through something I can’t help them with. However, I would like to pray over you and your life anyhow so I will! I pray for nothing but more greatness to and from you!
It’s so crazy how I too always said I would cut my hair at 30 and try short styles for longer than I did(at 18 I kept my hair short for 1 yr after having long hair my entire life) before. I can’t imagine HAVING to cut my hair, so Ik this hurts real bad; especially as a bp who loves their hair in a world still finding it difficult to accept it. The same way you learned to love yourself with hair, you’re learning to love yourself without it. That’s no small feat. Sone people will never experience that side of love for/with themselves.😅 Just know you’re gonna come out even more strong and powerful than you’ve ever been.
Take care of yourself bro, I love you and your creations!
P.S. Idk what your parents were thinking when they named you but they COOKED, YOU HEAR ME, STRAIGHT CHEF BOYARDEE’D THAT JOINT😂😂😂😂
I HAVE to say, you look FIRE bro! This actually, surprisingly, really looks good on you man!
This was absolutely moving. I followed your channel bcuz of your giftedness behind the lens but I just realized that it’s not about what you can do behind the lens, you’re true gift is your ability to be vulnerable. That level of vulnerability is what creates legacy and leaves an entire world inspired to grow, and inspired to be their absolute best. I’m praying for you brother. Keep fighting and keep creating! Art is healing.
I’m sorry for what you are going through. I don’t know the feeling, but I have lost loved ones to cancer. I hope you get better soon. Stay strong and keep making videos. You are an inspiration. Lots of love.
I'm praying for your speedy recovery young man.
you are still VUHLANDES
I pray your recover launches you forwards towards brighter days Vuhlandes! You have been an inspiration for me to go from an artist producing/writing/performing songs to finally touch the world of cinematography and produce/shoot my own videos/shorts!!! I learned so much from you and I just hope you know, everything you've done has been helpful to many more like myself. Stay strong and I pray you heal fully and soon!!!!
You are a beautiful human that radiates love and passion way beyond what you believe you gave us. Whenever I am stuck I keep coming back to your channel. I know you will get past this and one day you will regrow your hair. It will definitely feel like a huge triumph. You are losing your hair because you are healing brother, like you have healed many of us who watch your beautiful videos. Much love from me and my family and we will be there with you every step of the road in prayer and good thoughts.
Your fans love you my man and the fact that you used your art and talent to show the pain and fear that you are experiencing shows how amazing you are even when faced with something like this....Stay strong as much as you can.. When you have days that you feel low, you have us here...... Prayers and hugs to you
You are making me so proud bro, you have matured and grown soo much. I remember you form when you made your first Fujifilm and film videos and taking pics in the hood. Cancer is just an obstacle for you, and maybe, if I'm being insensitive, another way from God for you to grow. You have shown thru you work and art that you ain't no pushover nor a coward. The best of luck for you and your loved ones.
You're beautiful with or without your hair and I pray for your health and a smooth recovery. You're incredibly gifted and I hope you continue to use social media as a healthy outlet for your healing 🫂🤍
Brother, showing your vulnerability shows how strong you are, I hope you go through this phase and come back stronger, a big hug from Brazil.
You and yours are in my prayers….. looking forward to videos of your recovery 🙏🏽
Hope you get better brother, I'll say a prayer for you. Stay positive and keep your head up.
It’s been a surreal experience watching your journey and now seeing you overcome this point in your journey has been nothing but awe inspiring. We love you brother for everything you’ve done for the community and who you are.
you will always be Vuhlandes. sending good energy & prayers your way!
I love you Bro, I am Praying for you and wish the best of luck to you. My hair is apart of my identity as well and I can't imagine what you're going through. I just found your channel not too long ago and you have helped me with so much and I appreciate all your hard work, kindness, simplicity, and just being helpful. You have it in you to beat this bs, you're still making creative videos with fighting something that difficult which shows the type of person you are. I am proud of you for continuing to do what you love through tough times and not letting this define you. You're Vuhlandes without the hair and it doesn't define you even though it may not feel like that. I believe in you Vuhlandes, I know you can get through this. I wish my best of luck to you. YOU CAN BEAT THIS VUHLANDES!❤❤
This video is so powerful. This shows your personality, your creativity and above all your strength of character. You got this man 💪🏻
yesterday I got into an accident minor wasn't injured but lost my car and I'm probably going to loose money, money I was gone use to invest into a camera because I recently discovered I love cinematography ur videos inspired me to make the jump and start a new chapter I go onto ur channel again this morning to learn and see u have cancer but you gone make it through and you've given me hope and a more positive look on life seeing u can be going through this and create and be ur self thank you vuhlandes its love and I'm praying for u brother peace n love god all will be well
it brings me to tears to watch you go through this. I am praying for you. For your peace of mind ans strength. Mostly praying that you come out of this victorious. thank you for still creating and sharing with us !
I’m riding with you bro, two years ago I had to cut my mother’s hair off because of her battle with cancer… it’s a moment I’ll never forget to actually realize that the cancer was really true… you’ve stayed in my thoughts bro and I really hope and pray you come out on top of this. I’m knowing it’s possible and with your permission I’d like to send prayers in your name to the Father that this journey of yours will be a bigger victory than you could imagine. Keep your head up bro samsons strength was in his hair… by yours is in your heart
We're all praying for you 🙏🏾
I am an old man and this made me cry like a baby, I wish you the best, be strong you are way more than hair, in fact the no hair reveal your handsome face.
I can't imagine how hard and how much strength this took out of you, and we are proud of YOU Vuhlandes. I want to remind you, your hair is only an extension of you, although it's created a "visual persona," it does not define WHO you are. Your family, your friends, your followers know WHO you are internally and the style of your hair, color, or lack of doesn't change the amazing spirit you have as a person. My prayers are with you brotha and I hope years from now, you are able to look back on this with a new hair style, since I feel this is a transformation into you growing into something bigger than you already are. Try and keep your spirits strong and know we are all here thinking of you buh! - K Nine
My brother, your page is the reason I even thought to pick up a camera fr. I’m rooting for you always. We love you dawg.
