He studied cinematography at the Film Institute of the Catholic University and has worked as a documentary photographer since 1964. During the Pinochet regime, he was imprisoned for two years in camps for political prisoners.

In November 1979 he was kidnapped by the Chilean secret police but managed to escape when the plane landed in London.
He has lived in London since 1979 and continues to document the struggles, hopes and suffering of people throughout the world. We were honoured by Carlo's presence in our classroom. Thank you Carlos, for your time, energy and dedication to the marginalized people throughout the world.
