Fornearly a decade, photographer Carlos Batts has honed and refined his artistic sensibilities into a balanced mosaic of lowbrow and highbrow culture, integrating the visceral, intense, and sometimes shocking content of his editorial work and montages with the immediate vibrancy of his fashion shoots.  
          The Baltimore native has contributed for VIBE, Hustler, Skechers, NBC, Ballantine Books, DCComics, AGFA Film, Sportswear International, FLEER trading cards and While You Were Sleeping among an ever-expanding universe of other forums.  In addition, Batts has directed bizarre videos(music and erotic), and created album art for an eclectic mix of musical acts including DANZIG, Pig Destroyer, Ink and Dagger, Dwarves, Dog Fashion Disco, and Mastodon. 
          Presently living in Los Angeles, Batts' admixture of cubist geometry, 70's exploitation themes, bizarre lighting techniques, a variety of textured backgrounds, slice and dice editing, and a keen eye for beauty in its many forms has contributed to the piquancy and relevance of his work.
