ABOUT CARLOS

Carlos Gil is a photographer, director, and visual storyteller based in Mexico and working worldwide. His work blends the authenticity of reportage with the polish of editorial production, resulting in images that feel raw, sensitive, and emotionally resonant. Whether chasing light on remote trails or embedded in high-energy commercial sets, Carlos is always in pursuit of moments that speak to something deeper.

Known for capturing the intersection of movement, identity, and place, Carlos collaborates with brands, athletes, and creatives to create stories that go beyond the surface. His imagery often explores themes of effort, transformation, and presence — drawing on his deep connection to sport, lifestyle, and human experience.

Carlos brings both vision and grit to every project. His intuitive approach allows him to work in dynamic environments without losing the intimacy or truth of the moment.

Carlos works out of both his home base in Mexico and on location across the world. When not shooting, he’s either training, mentoring up-and-coming talent, or dreaming up the next visual journey.

At this point in his career, Carlos has established a clear voice and aesthetic — one that invites people to feel, not just see. He believes in work that moves people. Literally and emotionally.
