Debbie Carlos is a photographer, and ceramicist based in Michigan. After growing up in California and the Philippines, she moved back to the US for college, obtaining a degree in psychology from Clark University before graduating with a concentration in photography from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. 

Carlos’s images capture moments of quiet strangeness, patterns of light and shadow, minute-by-minute surprises, changes that don’t happen, something that's askew, something exactly in place -- across a range of natural and artificial phenomena.

Her ceramic work is inspired by land and architecture. It is playful, experimenting with shape, size & materials to create unexpected and beautiful functional and sculptural objects.
