The Vision of Carlos Arias!

Carlos Arias was born to photograph men. And aren't we lucky he was! His models and art direction are fresh, and there's not a blond in the bunch. VERY fresh.

The NY-er (via Mexico) is largely self-taught, and creates all aspects of his shoots -- model selection, location and set design, styling/makeup, and post-production of the images. And at 23, he's just getting started. There's a photobook in the works, a recent campaign for BoyRio swimwear, and DNA just chose Carlos as "Photographer of the Month" for January. < We love his portrait of Quentin Elias!
