Hi everyone. I'm Carter Perez-Art. Photographer, artist, painter, digital artist, jeweler, fashion designer, and an overall creative person. Hablo Español, I speak English, et je parle un peu de Français.

My love for the arts started early on, and it lead me to pursue all the visual arts I can put my hands on. I love to photograph most categories, but when it comes to my work, I am most attracted to high fashion, dramatic, black & white, Avant-Garde, Surreal, Tattoos & Piercings, Juxtapositions, male nudes, Fantasy, Gothic, Extreme make-up, and things that are different from the norm.

I received my Associate In Arts for Photography and my Associate In Science for Fashion Design in 2014. Some awards include Honorable Mention in the year 2015 and 2017 for the Weston Scholarship and I've also won 1st & 3rd place for one of my watercolor pieces my sophomore year at the Visual And Performing Arts show at my high school. Some exhibits and shows include my solo show at Monterey Peninsula College in 2017 where I showed a mix of Analog Film Photography, Digital Photography, and Alternative Process Photography. I was also selected as one of the students to show a piece in the MPC Student All Media Exhibit in 2016 at the Monterey Peninsula College Gallery, I had a silver gelatin print displayed at the Marjorie Evans Gallery in Carmel as part of the "Recognizing The Alumni" show in 2016, and most recently, one of my silver gelatin prints was displayed in the Monterey Museum of Art in the 2021 Weston Scholarship Exhibit.

I require all my models to sign a contract. Compensation will depend on the project, and is discussed before the photo session. I always have my portfolio with me, and references are available upon request. The contract will be signed the day of the photo session or before, and anyone is allowed to accompany the model at my photo sessions if the model is more comfortable with a friend. I will not photograph models under 18, and I will not photograph nudes (including implied) with models who are under 21.

Respect for me is an essential part of working in a professional environment and in life, so I respect my models, Hair/MUA's, assistants, etc., and I expect the same respect back, so any inappropriate behavior will not be accepted during a photo session. I do love to joke around, and love a sense of humor, but no disrespect will be accepted at a photo session, and may result in loss of part/all of compensation, and/or a loss of the current and future photo sessions. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bullying, or disrespect will be tolerated at my photo sessions. Also, if for any reason a photo session must be cancelled, I would appreciate it if I am to be notified as soon as possible. I am for the most part understanding when it comes to cancellations. We all have our own lives, family, emergencies, and some even have kids and/or pets.

I am open to questions, suggestions, tips, and if you happen to be interested in choosing me as a photographer and/or artist, please feel free to message or tag me here on Model Mayhem, Facebook, and/or Instagram. To all the photo retouchers, thank you for reaching out, but I do my own retouching. Thank you so much, and I hope to either work with you as a photographer, photo assistant, fashion designer, wardrobe stylist, or artist. Thank you for viewing my portfolio. :)

To all my models, photography assistants I've ever had, Hair/MUAs, stylists, fellow photographers, friends, teachers, volunteers, and everyone who has helped me and views/likes my portfolio, and all of those who believe in me, thank you. :)
