Carlos Mason

Carlos was first introduced to rock climbing in the hillsides of Rainbow, CA at just 4 years old. While growing up in La Jolla, CA with a family of creative professionals, climbing and photography became preeminent life guiding inspirations for friendship, creative pursuit, and travel. With family ties to the climbing community originating from Camp 4 in 1970's Yosemite, he has a deep appreciation for the culture and adventure of outdoor mountain sports.

Between 2007-2014, Carlos worked as a freelance photo and video producer on local and regional Southern California commercial broadcast campaigns, music videos, and corporate industrial productions. In 2015 Carlos founded Frosting, a Los Angeles based stills and motion picture production company. Today he works as a producer and cinematographer focused on nationally branded commercial content and narrative film.
