Antonio CAROL

Established 1981

Born on the vibrant island of Jamaica and raised in the heart of Brooklyn, Antonio Carol is a photographer whose work pulses with soul, story, and spirit. His journey began as a child adjusting to life in the U.S., surrounded by the rhythm of city streets and the echoes of jazz, blues, rock, reggae, and hip hop.

Antonio’s photography has been described as moody, sensual, candid, and noir—a visual language that speaks of raw emotion and quiet intensity.
