Carlos Rodrigo Diaz, born on Oct. 26 1995 in Hicksville, New York, is a fashion and editorial photographer, model, and artist. 

Starting out as a hobby, Carlos began photography as a model while attending Hunter College, where he majored in Media Studies. During his educational career, he learned about the importance of telling stories through different forms of mediums such as videography, photography, and digital art. When he was published twice in the school’s student-run fashion magazine CULT, he knew he wanted to pursue a career in media.  “Once I got a taste of what it was like to finally work on a creative project with a diverse team, seeing our work pay off, and actually seeing myself for the first time in a publication, I just knew this is where I want to be and what I want to do,” he describes.
