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

#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
Filmed + edited by me — Mont Carver

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) ♡
✧₊˚ What I did: concept + prompt crafting, visual direction, curation, edit + motion
Tools: Midjourney + video editing 。☆✿

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 ✿
Let’s build weird beautiful worlds together ♡

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 ☾

Lately I've been obsessed with horses and I've been doing this images and videos with Midjourney.
✦✦✦✦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.
My role: Photographer · Creative Direction · Lighting · Retouching
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.
