Later studied Design at ESBAL, Lisbon, Sociology at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and Economics (Post-graduation in Development and International Cooperation) at Universidade Técnica de Lisboa. He is presently developing his Doctoral studies in Visual Arts at Universidade de Évora, Portugal.
All his life has been lived around photography. Carlos started using photographic cameras at the age of 6, and received a complete darkroom, as a birthday present, at the age of 10. For him photography has a different meaning. He sees photography as an extension of his body: as another form of perception closely related to the building of memories and to the materialization of dreams.
Carlos has taught photography and exhibited extensively since the 1970’s.
Very active in the conference circle, with several exhibitions in the last three years and several more already planned he is now at one of his most prolific production stages of his life.
