Hey Contra fam ✿✿✿✿✿ jumping on #contraquest ✿
I’m Mont Carver ♡ a Mexico City–born creative based in Madrid. I work across video editing, filmmaking, photography, and AI-assisted visual art (yes, I love a good hybrid workflow ♡).
I’m obsessed with story + mood + rhythm ♡ whether it’s a cinematic short-form edit, an actor character study, a beauty campaign BTS, or Midjourney experiments turned into motion ✧₊˚
This year I’m here to collaborate more, learn faster, and make work that feels real and weirdly beautiful ★
Say hi + tell me what you do! ୨୧

☆:.｡. LUMMI CREATOR ACCEPTED .｡.:☆
Today I got accepted as a Lummi.ai (http://Lummi.ai) Creator and I’m honestly so excited. So I turned that energy into a mini experiment: 3 Midjourney images → 3 short videos (animated + edited to feel alive). I made them on @Lummi
I’d love your eyes on them, which one hits the most?

☆:.｡. AMANDA + CHARLIE / WEDDING REEL .｡.:☆
A little love capsule from their day ︶︶︶⟡ bridal morning giggles + dress details → mirror moment → that quiet “about to walk in” energy → vows from the back row → then straight into the dancefloor chaos (confetti + hands in the air) ✦
Edited with a nostalgic touch: film-frame overlays, soft cinematic grading, tight pacing + emotion-first cuts, so it feels like a memory you can rewatch, not just a recap.
⋆｡ﾟ☁︎ if you’re looking for wedding edits that feel intimate + timeless (with a little party sparkle), I’m here ⊹☆

☆:.｡. AI CREATIVE PORTFOLIO .｡.:☆
Hi, I’m Mont Carver, filmmaker + photographer working at the intersection of image, tech + emotion. This video is a quick flip-through of my AI creative portfolio (designed in Canva) featuring: AI fantasy characters, fashion/editorial worlds, product + beauty-style visuals, and AI video experiments, plus a peek at my exhibitions + background.
I use AI as a creative studio tool (concept → art direction → image + motion), then polish everything with a cinematic eye: composition, texture, color, rhythm. If you need campaign visuals, social content, moodboards, pitch decks, or experimental imagery/video, let’s build something that feels unreal (in the best way).

I’m renovating my Contra portfolio and I’ll be uploading more work here, starting with the kind of thing I love to make after every photoshoot: slow-mo video portraits ♡｡ﾟ
This is Sarai, an actress from Vitoria (Spain). We met in Madrid, became friends, and keep creating together ✧₊˚
I love how slow motion holds the tiny in-between moments, breath, gaze, softness, like a moving photo you can almost touch ★彡
more soon… ୨୧

☆:CONTRA QUEST / WEEK 2:☆
Proudest project: Jaime + Ricardo’s wedding in Madrid. Full creative freedom to document their day + deliver keepsakes you can hold: ticket-print photos, polaroids + digital gallery. These visuals are the ticket prints.
✦learned: when a couple truly trusts you, the work gets more honest: less posing, more real moments. Also: printing changes everything. The emotion becomes an object, an archive, a little talisman.
✦tools: camera + prime lens · edit/retouch · nostalgic ticket/polaroid print workflow
✦shaped me: it reminded me why I do this, to tell love stories in a documentary-poetic way, and to create deliverables that don’t live only on a screen.
✦ what I want more of in 2026: weddings + events with creative freedom, intimate storytelling, and hybrid deliveries (digital + prints + mixed media) ♡≋≋≋

★｡ CONTRA DIARY : 2025 → 2026 ｡★
// nonstop mode : ON //
I’ve been working non-stop all 2025—between filmmaking, photographing, and studying a Master in Fine Arts.
I moved to madrid 6 years ago, but I’m from Mexico city, so I came back home for a bit to see my family and reconnect with my culture: my food, my streets, my little rituals, my things. I’ve been freelancing for ~9 years, which basically means I’m always on a computer, so sometimes I need to come back to reality and touch something slower + more honest: analog photography.
Here are some 35mm photos I’ve taken in CDMX: no undo, no timeline, just light, texture, and being here. ⟡〰︎✦ I like to stop and enjoy sometimes.

BESO ⟡ slow motion film piece (for RAYAS by Carlota Pérez de Castro)
A slow-motion video fragment I filmed as part of RAYAS, a work by Spanish artist Carlota Pérez de Castro. BESO focuses on the intimacy of a single gesture—time stretched, texture amplified, emotion held in suspension ˚✧

still exploring Ideogram and using it like a little dream machine ♡｡ﾟ
made these two images as a mini dip into my favorite topic: horses ✧₊˚
I’m obsessed with the glow + film grain + underwater-blue mood… like a tender cinematic memory loading in slow motion, also yes… it’s the year of the horse so I’m taking that as a sign 🐎✨
A or B? which one hits harder? ♡

a chapter from my ongoing project Crying Queens (2023 → now) ♡｡ﾟ
a parade of crowned faces, soft-focus tears, and dreamy “royal” archetypes—built like a glitchy beauty pageant that keeps repeating itself ✧₊˚
These images play with the way AI thinks it knows what a “woman” is: the same emotions, the same poses, the same aesthetics… multiplied into a template. I’m collecting them like an archive, then remixing them into collages, prints, video, and mixed media pieces.
sad queens / pretty crowns / algorithmic fantasy ✿
a tender + unsettling mirror of what gets rewarded, filtered, and standardized ♡

35mm ghost edits 👻✿
shot on 35mm analogue, then I erased a person with Photoshop + AI until the body became a presence — a sheet-ghost, a blank space, a memory with eyes ✧₊˚

Part of my ongoing project Crying Queens (2023 → now): a research universe about women + algorithmic bias, and how AI systems interpret “woman” through narrow templates.
This piece is different: no AI here — only my friends, filmed as a living counter-image. ♡｡ﾟ
Close, real, tender, complex. A reminder that bodies + emotions can’t be reduced to a prompt.
Crying Queens has been exhibited in Spain, Argentina, and Switzerland, and is currently included in The Wrong Biennale (2025/26) inside Radical Dreamers, curated by Laura Focarazzo ✧₊˚

MUTACIONES ✿
Mutaciones is an experimental video art short film created as a mixed-media piece—blending moving image, stills/photographic textures, text, and digital interventions to build an intimate, fragmented narrative. ✧₊˚
The film explores family dynamics, fear, and the tension between physical distance and emotional distance—how relationships shift, mutate, and reconfigure when life forces change. Rather than telling a linear story, Mutaciones moves like memory: layered, subjective, and emotionally precise ♡｡ﾟ

#2026goals ｡☆✿
I want 2026 to be the year I say “yes” to making more ✧
More editing, more filmmaking, more photo sessions, more visual research — the kind of work that makes me feel alive ♡
I’m also obsessed with building bridges between AI + reality: using tools like Midjourney for concept worlds, then bringing them into real shoots / real films / real stories ✿
And ofc… keep learning (forever student mode) ★彡

Suhui Xia × character playground ｡☆✿
Made this mini film during a photoshoot session for Suhui’s actress book ♡
We explored different characters like trying on outfits: soft, intense, mysterious, playful… tiny changes = whole new person ✧₊˚
We worked together before in “El otro lugar” and I love how collaborative our process is—camera as a space to experiment, not to “perform perfectly.” ★彡

AI Video Experiments (Midjourney) ✿
A set of short-form visual loops created with Midjourney, exploring dreamy Y2K / sci-fi moods, glossy textures, and surreal “cinematic stills” brought into motion. Each piece starts as prompt-driven image-making, then becomes a video through curation, sequencing, and subtle animation—like tiny trailers for worlds that don’t exist (yet) ♡

Crying Queens (2023-2025) ｡☆✿
When AI tries to generate “a woman” it often spits out the same fantasy template… so I turned the process into a critique + a visual universe. 👑
This is machine imagination vs. human intention:
words → faces → crowns → distortion → meaning ✧₊˚
Poetic? yes. Uncomfortable? also yes. ☾
Exhibited in Barcelona + Madrid ✿

New work ⟡ IED Fashion Final Project — BTS film
I was hired by IED fashion students to create a behind-the-scenes film for their final project ˚✧
I filmed on set capturing the real process—styling, makeup, direction, model moments, and all the tiny details that make a shoot feel alive ☾
In post, I edited it into a cohesive, cinematic BTS piece ♡ clean pacing, fashion-forward rhythm, and a polished finish—so the final video works as a strong portfolio asset for the whole team ✶

New work ⟡ “El Otro Lugar” — trailer
Short film directed by Roberta Chavez — and a project I’m deeply proud of ♡ I worked as cinematographer (DP), video editor, and also created the making-of photo for the film.
The trailer is edited to hold tension and atmosphere ˚✧ with an image language that leans into texture, silence, and emotional distance — a story that lives in what’s not said ☾
Festival path: Premiered at DA Film Festival (Barcelona) and has since been screened across different film festivals in Spain ✶

Filmmaking is where my curiosity naturally unfolds. I’m drawn to the quiet details, to the way someone breathes before speaking, to the subtle shifts of expression that reveal a story without needing words.
In this post I’m sharing three pieces that feel close to my process. The first is from a portrait session with an actress — what began as photographs slowly turned into a cinematic study of presence. The second is an exploration with an actor, where I followed movement and instinct to find a mood rather than a narrative. The third is a slow-motion moment from a beauty campaign, a small fragment of the atmosphere behind the scenes.
What I love most about filmmaking is how it invites me to observe, to experiment, and to transform simple moments into something expressive. ♥️

New work ⟡ Making-of — Eddi Circa “Las Fiestas del Patrón”
I filmed + edited the behind-the-scenes for Eddi Circa’s music video Las Fiestas del Patrón — capturing the in-between moments that make a set feel alive: rehearsals, direction, styling, crew energy, and those tiny details you only notice when you’re there ˚✧
The goal was to create a BTS piece that feels cinematic but honest ♡ not just “coverage,” but a small story of how the video came to life — rhythm-driven edit, warm texture, and a natural flow from moment to moment ☾

✦✦✦✦Actor Book / Portrait Session — BK Carty✦✦✦✦
I photographed actress BK Carty to build a versatile actor book: clean headshots, expressive portraits, and editorial frames that feel timeless and casting-friendly.
The goal was range without losing authenticity—simple backgrounds, precise lighting, and a calm, cinematic mood. A mix of black & white and color to cover different tones: intimate, confident, soft, and bold.

Camera: Sony A7RIII

New work ✦ Elle C / Elsie — two voices, one body.
I created a portrait + mixed-media collage series for singer Elle C & Elsie, a project built around her dual musical personas: one soft, dreamy, candy-coated, the other raw, electric, and feral.
Visually, I leaned into Y2K internet nostalgia, sticker chaos, torn-paper textures, glitchy color, and pop iconography—like diary pages turned into cover art. Every image is designed to feel like a “persona shift”: cute → sharp, romantic → disruptive, sweet → bite.
My role: Photographer · Creative Direction · Digital Collage / Artwork · Retouching - Shot on Sony A7RIII.
If you’re an artist, musician, or brand looking for visuals that feel alive (not generic), I’d love to collaborate✿

"The Hangover of Love" (2022): is a project that addresses the recovery after a romantic breakup. It explores this process through the documentation of a past relationship, which, despite being autobiographical, is understood as a universal experience that anyone can relate to.
Here are some of the photographs that I edited for this project.
