Carlo Ferraro was born in Italy in 1944, but has made his whole life in Venezuela where he emigrated with his parents in 1949. He was a lecturer at the Universidad Simón Bolívar in Caracas for 25 years. He retired in 1995, to devote himself to what he loves most: Nature. Carlo began his career as a photographer in 1975 and in 1993 published Venezuela, Paradise for Birds. Since then, he's developed a prolific career producing hundreds of documentaries in many different areas, especially Nature, Wildlife and Ecotravel, on land and under the sea, for TV and Cable, for Tourism operations and for the web. Some of his recent works can be seen in his website. Carlo owns more than 200 hours of digital footage (more than 300 species of birds) on Venezuela and the Caribbean. He is a cornerstone for productions seeking this sort of footage from this part of South America.
