Carmen Mandato is a Miami based photographer with global experience and a specialty in commercial portraiture. She has executed assignments worldwide, directing talent and building lighting plans in a wide range of settings. In South Florida she serves conferences and trade shows, produces consistent corporate headshots and executive portraits on location, and covers private events and weddings. She works easily with PR and production teams and delivers fast, polished galleries for web and print.

Her storytelling approach is direct and intentional. She builds frames that read at a glance and layers detail that rewards a second look. A background in photojournalism sharpened her timing and taught her to refine composition under pressure while noticing the small cues in gesture and light that carry meaning. That attention to detail gives her portraits clarity and her event coverage a cohesive narrative.

Clients hire Carmen for images that feel calm, accurate, and usable, and for a steady presence on busy days.
