Hi there! THANKS FOR STOPPING BY
Carlos Biggemann has spent 16 years living in New Zealand-Aotearoa where he completed his studies at Aoraki Polytechnic and he did graduated with a Certificate in Digital Photography in 2012.
Since his graduation, Carlos spends the majority of his time taking photographs of the Majestic "Carnaval de Oruro," Dramatic Skies, Travel Photography and the marvellous of New Zealand's landscapes. Since then Carlos exhibited 5 exhibitions. Trough Carlos's work and lens he wants to make a better world and to make it more HUMAN
Carlos studied photography at the Aoraki Polytechnic in Dunedin, New Zealand. He obtained his Digital Photography Certificate in 2012. His Digital Photography Certificate studies included subjects such as History of Photography, Composition, Printing, Special Techniques, Photoshop, and Photographic Business. Making an enormous effort, Carlos mastered each one of these subjects without additional support of any kind.
Carlos’ passion for photography gained wide attention from Bolivian communications media, when he inaugurated his Exhibit called "New Zealand Magic" Twenty-six of his fifty photographs were sold the night of the opening. The CNN International correspondent in Bolivia covered his story that night, and he was also interviewed by the Univisión television network as well as by multiple local television newscasters and newspapers.
- Carlos’ photograph titled "Spread Your Wings Little One," was likewise chosen between close to 300 images presented, becoming one of the 15 pre-selected images for being named finalists in the “My Perspective 2014 Contest”, in London, England. In 2015, his image titled "A Journey Never Ends" was once again selected among nearly 250 images submitted, to become one of the 25 pre-selected images in My Perspective 2015 Awards.
In February 2015 Carlos was one of the accredited photographers at the famous Carnaval de Oruro, in Bolivia. Carlos worked for the Oruro Daily “La Patria” during the “Carnaval” festivities and his photographs were featured in the Daily’s front pages.
In 2014 he was the official photographer for a fashion show featuring hats created by noted New Zealand Fashion Designer Lindsay Kenneth and in July 2015 he was in charge of photographing the models for the book with the same artist’s biography to be published this year.
In January 2016 Carlos held a new photography exhibition in La Paz, Bolivia, titled “Dramatic Skies.” To make this exhibition possible Carlos spent two years photographing different places, falling in love with the colours, forms, textures, contrasts and drama that only the skies can hold. Carlos chose his best shots among hundreds in his collection for his purpose was to show how the skies can speak for themselves.
The show once again attracted the attention of a numerous audiences and the Bolivian media, which gave great coverage to his work.
Now, rhythm, tradition and colour is what Carlos brings us in “Carnaval de Oruro,” a Masterwork of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity (UNESCO), the greatest expression of Bolivian culture; a photographic show about the deep devotion and religious faith shown by thousands of dancers in their journey and pilgrimage to the Shrine where their Patroness, the “Virgin of the Mineshafts” is venerated.
