Carlos Del Rio-Bermudez is a visual artist currently based in Spain. He primarily works with analog and alternative process photography.  

​

Inspired by his scientific background, Carlos' goal is to tell visual stories while pushing the limits of photographic experimentation. One frame at a time, he uses a wide range of tools to experiment with images and alter reality as we see it. Ultimately, he is drawn to the parallelisms between experimentation in the science lab and image manipulation in-camera and in the darkroom. For him, the never-ending possibilities for image creation using chemistry, physics, optics, or mechanics make the creative process as crucial as the outcome. 

​

His photographic work has been featured in specialized magazines and has been exhibited in galleries and photography festivals. His large, ongoing project ‘Good Gravy!’ (also now a photobook in the making) represents a visual laboratory notebook summarizing +5 years of experiments involving food-related manipulations of photographic film.

 

As part of his artistic journey, Carlos has also collaborated with film brands, featured magazine articles, and worked with several bands and book authors to create impactful and memorable covers and artwork. 

 

Lately, he has had the opportunity to teach a series of experimental photography workshops in local film labs and galleries. Through teaching, he hopes to inspire junior photographers to embark themselves in the fascinating world of alternative processes.
