Carlos Morales is a documentary photographer and mixed media artist who resides in New York. He holds a BFA in Photography and Related Media from the Fashion Institute of Technology and an MFA in Integrated Media Arts (IMA) from Hunter College. Selected as an IMA Make Space Fellow, Carlos mentors undergraduate students at Hunter in media creation in the Mellon Public Humanities and Social Justice Scholars program.

Carlos' work, which often explores the layered interchange between solitude and space and experiments with different visual mediums, has been exhibited in solo and group shows in New York and beyond, including China and Latin America. His photo essays, Rosie and Entre Sombras/In the Shadows, have won national juried exhibitions. Collaborating with diverse partners, his video installation Out of the Pandemic initiated the outdoor projection series now held annually at Gallery North.

Carlos has presented on the intersection between the visual arts and social change at Framingham State University in Massachusetts and La Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, México. Most recently, he spoke as part of the Lichtenstein Lecture Series at the Pollock-Krasner House, and during the SOMOS/We Are show at LIM (The Long Island Museum) which also included his work. In 2020, Carlos founded "The Class," a virtual photography project that began with five children in Quindío, Colombia, and continues to grow, having now reached over 600 students in five countries. Director of LALI, Latino Arts of Long Island, Carlos’ experience in collaborating with local artists sparked The New Collective, his latest endeavor to form a global network of photographers interested in coming together to share, promote, and exhibit their work across borders, virtually, and in-person.
