Carlos Lopez is a photographer, creative director, and visual storyteller based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Originally from Nicaragua, Carlos moved to the United States as a young boy and grew up in North Carolina. After serving honorably as a United States Marine, he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2015.

His work moves between commercial photography, product storytelling, lifestyle imagery, and creative direction. Whether leading a team or working behind the camera, Carlos approaches image-making as both a technical craft and a human process — one built on preparation, trust, and the people behind the work.
