Carolina strives to inspire others to develop their vision capturing it in a compelling way, so that the viewer is transported into the intended world.
She is a Venezuelan-American cinematographer, photographer, and film educator based in NYC.
Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, she spent most of her youth between the vibrant city’s valley and the deep, lush nature that surrounds it. Always in awe of the world, and the creatures that inhabit it.
Since she was very little, she has been submerged in stories, tales, imagination, travel, and exploration.
She has an innate ability to perceive the world around her intensely and in detail.
Being an intuitive camera operator, she instinctively communicates through the lens, translating what she sees into strong, captivating images. From narrative to documentary work.
Her background in both graphic design and filmmaking allows her to combine aesthetics and composition with the visual storytelling language in a very effective way.
She is driven by her passion for film, images, aesthetics, deep curiosity, empathy, adventure, and creation.
She believes we need stories to carry us through our lives, to accompany us, help us grieve what hurts, heal, laugh, dream, and connect with each other and the world.
Available for travel, she holds US and European citizenships. She is fully fluent in both Spanish and English.
Her work includes narrative, documentary, corporate, commercial, and music videos. Her career has taken her across the US, Latin America, Europe and Africa. She has lived and worked in New York City for 14 years.
She values honesty, creative collaboration, and shared inspiration, while telling stories in a cinematic way. Personable, highly detail-oriented, she is a skilled problem solver, concept creator and developer.
A visual storyteller with a strong eye.
