S
ome worlds live in shades of grey,
but shine no less bright. The brilliant
monochromatic world of Carlos
Labrador is such a place. From a young
age Labrador was a great admirer of the
masters of photography and his passion
for their images and artistic composition
have followed him since he acquired his
first camera. He studied at the prestigious
photography academy Roberto Mata Taller
de Fotografía in Caracas, Venezuela, studying
portraiture and photojournalism. Today
counts more than 25 years of professional
experience, with his true passion undeniable:
black and white photography.
During the last five years, Labrador has
focused on portrait photography in his own
studio, experimenting with new and creative
lighting techniques that have built him his own
unique signature look, one he is well known for
within Venezuela’s photographic communities.
He works with different light sources and a
combination of different lighting equipment
and filters for every photo he takes, allowing
each images to achieve particular effects and
exclusive personality.
