Hi, I’m Carlos — founder of Carlos David Studio.

I’m a portrait photographer working between New York City, Europe, and Mexico, specializing in editorial-style personal branding that helps you show up — with clarity, confidence, and intention.

For over a decade, I’ve photographed artists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers — and directed documentaries that capture the quiet courage of transformation. At the heart of it all is a simple belief: people want to be seen, not styled.

That’s why I don’t just take pictures. I guide you through an experience designed to reveal your presence, elevate your brand, and align with your next chapter — whether that’s launching something new, stepping into the spotlight, or simply rediscovering how powerful you already are.
