Carlos Rivera walks the city like a careful listener. Through architecture, street corners, and silent spaces, he composes images that feel both intimate and precise. A street photographer rooted in observation, Carlos captures the small, structured poetries of urban life, the solitude of a figure against glass, the glow of a taco truck at
midnight, the rhythm of buildings folding into the sky.
Based in Chicago, Carlos approaches photography not just as an act of seeing, but as a discipline of restraint. His black and white compositions are clean yet layered, graphic yet human. He avoids the obvious in favor of the quiet, and within that quiet, meaning emerges.
His work reflects a deep understanding of light, not as drama, but as geometry. Each frame is carefully composed, often with a solitary subject moving through Architectural grids, fog-lined shorelines, or illuminated storefronts.
These are not grand narratives. They are pauses. And Carlos knows how to hold them.
