Lluís Carro
Lluís Carro, born into a family with a deep tradition in the world of images, is one of the most prominent photographers and audiovisual filmmakers in Barcelona. Since 1972, the year he began his professional career, Lluís has explored a wide range of fields in photography and audiovisual production, establishing himself as a leader in the sector. His passion for photography began under the tutelage of his father, who was a professor of film and photography at the Universidad Laboral de Tarragona, and since then he has dedicated his life to capturing images that tell powerful stories.
In 1972, Lluís founded Stage Studi, the first photography school in Barcelona, where he also specialized in medical and pharmacological advertising photography. During that time, he made numerous Super 8 and 16mm films of surgical operations, which were used at medical conferences, demonstrating his ability to combine technique with a deep sense of practical utility.
His career continued to evolve when in 1976 he became a partner and director of the audiovisual production company Moral&Muntaner, where he dedicated himself to creating spectacular projection montages for nightclubs, including some as iconic as Xaloc and Pachá in Ibiza. In 1977, he decided to embark on his independent path and founded Konic Audiovisuals, a production company that allowed him to develop large-scale projects for clients such as Freixenet, the UCD, the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Barcelona City Council, the Barça Museum, and the Diputació de Barcelona. Among his most notable achievements is the production of the first large-format projection montage in Spain for Freixenet and the creation of the audiovisual campaign "Modernisme català", which was presented in prestigious cities such as London, San Francisco, Tokyo and Paris.
In 1987, Lluís Carro founded Studi Lluís Carro SL, a company that has become synonymous with quality in the world of advertising, working with some of the most important agencies such as Bassat, Tandem DDB, GGK and Sachi & Sachi. Over the years, he has carried out campaigns for big brands such as Ford, Volkswagen, La Caixa, Roche Diagnostics and Codorníu, among many others.
Over time, Lluís has diversified his work, currently dedicating himself not only to advertising photography, but also to the creation of photographic art pieces for collectors and interior decoration. Additionally, he has expanded his influence by teaching photography workshops for amateurs and professionals, sharing his vast knowledge with new generations of photographers.
In 2022, Lluís decided to move his photography studio to Galicia, a place with which he already had a connection through previous projects with the Xunta de Galicia. This move represents a new stage in his career, filled with ambitious projects and the same renewed passion that has characterized his work for more than five decades. In addition, he is involved in consulting on NFTs for Diario.global, an area that promises to revolutionize the world of digital creation.
With a career that ranges from medical photography to large audiovisual montages and artistic photography, Lluís Carro continues to be a pillar in the world of imaging, always willing to explore new frontiers and share his experience with those who seek to learn from one of the great masters of photography.
