Carlo Claudio Photography and Studio

About Carlo Claudio

Carlo Claudio has been taking photographs since he was a teenager. He started with the Canon FTQL which his father gave him. Shooting lots of film and attending seminars, as well as doing a lot of reading on photography, he spent long hours and travelled to different places to capture the images in his mind and the beauty that is unfolding in front of him. After his AB Philosophy course at Ateneo de Manila, he managed the transportation business of his family and in his free time travelled to different areas to capture his passion. His work is a combination of different influences. The master portraitist Bob Razon has contributed greatly to the way his subjects are lit in traditional poses while the noted artist/creative director Rosscapili reinforced his creative style. Spanish photographers Pablo Genoves and Alberto Garcia-Alix instructed him in Avant Garde and dramatic portraiture, respectively. Still, he always tries to put his own mark in his images. Equally at ease in both studio and location shooting, Carlo’s versatility shows in his diverse subjects ranging from nature, people, interiors, landscapes, portraits, and still life, among others. His clients include Supreme Court Justices Antonio T. Carpio and Conchita Carpio Morales, The Philippine Army, Saud Beach Resort in Pagudpud, International Christian Academy, local and international organizations and furniture companies which export to the U.S. market. Carlo’s work has also been published in the New York Times and USA Today daily newspapers. In 2007, he won two 3rd Places of the same competition in the CANON 7,107 Smiles photo contest bagging categories namely “nightscapes” and “churches.” During the 2008 Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta-EPSON Photo Contest Marathon, he took the “Best Entry” award for the first day. As the head of the Visual Arts/Creative Club of Word for the World, he promotes love for art and teaches photography enabling others to share his passion for creating dramatic images. Carlo also gives photography lectures to selected members of the Philippine Army, developing the troops' artistic vision and to serve the purpose of public information, ultimately contributing to the country's progress.

Publications where his work appears includes books like Kannawidan Foundation's "Ili Ti Nasudi" which details the historic and cultural heritage of Ilocos Norte. Carlo was also involved in the documentation and reproduction photos for the National Commission for Culture and the Arts catalogue for the Philippine International Visual Arts Fest '09.

His commercial photography appears as well in store posters/advertisments in Glorietta 5 mall, Ayala Center, Makati as well as grocery chain stores all over California & Nevada.
