Urban Photography by Catarina Carlyle

CataCar Photo

Explore the streets through my lens. I’m Catarina Carlyle, an urbanist photographer capturing city life, motion, and architecture across Los Angeles and beyond.

Framing Cities. Finding Stories.

Welcome to my lens on the city. I’m Catarina Carlyle, an urbanist photographer drawn to the unspoken poetry of concrete, steel, and street life. My work captures the rhythm of architecture, the quiet drama of street corners, and the stories told by people simply moving through space. Whether it’s the golden wash of sunset on a city block or the blur of footsteps in the rain, I’m always chasing those fleeting, unscripted moments that define urban life.
