Carey is currently working on an MA in photography at England’s Falmouth University, after which he intends to combine his interest in making images with a career as a physician.

A geriatrician by day, Carey explores the streets at night, noting, “The night for me is an incredibly evocative time when unremarkable places become interesting.”

Carey says he‘s attracted by the feeling of unease and things lurking in the shadows that accompany urban street photography at night, “The nighttime brings a closer proximity to danger, threat, and menace,” he notes, adding that it is those emotions he attempts to capture in his images.

In short, Carey sees himself as a visual storyteller, hunting for the beauty as well as the ominous while shooting after dark.
