With a photographic trajectory that began in adolescence upon discovering her parents&#8217; camera, she develops a practice where the image functions as a necessary language to &#8220;say what cannot be said with words,&#8221; pay tribute to everyday life, and write fragments of stories that escape the verbal. Her photography emerges as a record of what moves her, a testimony to the ephemeral, and a celebration of the ordinary transformed into the extraordinary through the lens.<\/h4>\n<h4>Her portfolio &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/en\/portfolio-en\/intimate-metamorphosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>intimate metamorphosis<\/strong><\/a>&#8220;, a finalist in the <a href=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/en\/contest\/finalists-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FotoDoc Photo Contest 2025<\/strong><\/a>, is a project carried out over several years during the Carnival seasons with the &#8220;Groupes \u00e0 Po.&#8221; The Mas \u00e0 Po \u2013 full-body costumes that are a cultural and identity hallmark of the Guadeloupe Carnival \u2013 draw their strength from ancestral traditions, and Bernhardt captures them through windows, half-open doors, and mirrors, intruding into the intimacy of those whose bodies are transformed during this period of festivity and release. The metamorphosis questions not only cultural and Creole identity but also the relationship with the body, gender, and society: the skin covers itself while the gaze reveals itself, transforming the epidermis into a sensitive surface whose lines can be displaced, a medium that opens infinite possibilities for self-writing to approach the plurality and complexity of being. The work, both poetic and documentary, aspires to be sensitive, aesthetic, and narrative.<\/h4>\n<h4>Learn more about this visual exploration of Caribbean masks and the projects in development in the following interview.<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44641\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44641\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44641\" src=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-01-Carla-Bernhardt-1140x1710.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44641\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Imagem do Portf\u00f3lio<br \/>metamorfose \u00edntima, de Carla Bernhardt, finalista do Pr\u00eamio Portf\u00f3lio FotoDoc 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44643\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44643\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44643\" src=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-02-Carla-Bernhardt-1140x1710.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Imagem do Portf\u00f3lio<br \/>metamorfose \u00edntima, de Carla Bernhardt, finalista do Pr\u00eamio Portf\u00f3lio FotoDoc 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44645\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44645\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44645\" src=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/PPF2025-6-132-03-Carla-Bernhardt-1140x1710.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Imagem do Portf\u00f3lio<br \/>metamorfose \u00edntima, de Carla Bernhardt, finalista do Pr\u00eamio Portf\u00f3lio FotoDoc 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ds-message _656c965\">\n<div class=\"ds-markdown\">\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><em><strong>How old are you?
