Who I am:

My name is Carlos Albertosi and I was born in 1992 in Munchen, Germany. Being the son of a German mother and a Portuguese father, my big interest in foreign cultures, languages and tradition is kind of flowing through my blood. Being raised with two languages might have been the base for my massive interest in new languages, which is why I now speak German, Portuguese, English and Italian fluently. 

Thinking about my mother on our travels I always picture her with a camera in her hand and I am sure I got my passion for photography from her. During the past few years, I started to learn more and more about photography and cameras so I could give eternity to the most magical moments on my travels. For me, life is about finding these magical moments and keeping them alive in both the heart and photographs. 

Photography in my life:

Photography has been and will always be a way for me to connect with nature, the rest of the world and most importantly, myself. It gives me a reason to explore. It gets me up in the morning to shoot the sunrise and keeps me up at night exploring the stars. It can even take me into deep space! Best of all, photography provides me with a way to share those adventures with the rest of the world in ways I can’t accomplish with words. In my considerable years, I’ve learned and re-learned that my passion for photography is fuelled by one thing:

Capturing those images that put a viewer there, with me, in those moments has always been the real reward.

To me, the meaning of photography will always be the attempt to capture the emotion, vitality and spectacle of my own experiences and evoke them in the people that view my images.

“Art is what we call…the thing an artist does. It’s not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the …eye of the beholder. It’s in the soul of the artist.” Seth Godin
