Carey is a photojournalist and cinematographer based in Brooklyn, NY. After ten action-packed years as a staff photographer at newspapers in California and Florida, she bravely went independent to pursue work about women around the world.
Through her photography and cinematography, she has told stories about gender-based violence in Papua New Guinea, sex trafficking in Seattle, meth addiction and childbirth in California, street harassment in New York and domestic violence in Florida. Although her work has been received with awards, the conversations that follow are what keep her committed to telling these difficult stories.
Carey has lived and photographed extensively throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Her clients have included The New York Times, NBC News, Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, CARE, and Sports Illustrated. She was a 2012 Health Fellow for the International Reporting Project and currently is a Nikon School Instructor. Carey is fluent in Spanish, is an underwater photographer, and loves the outdoors and dance floors. She holds a B.A. in Cognitive Science and minor in Spanish from UC Berkeley.
The Long Night, a feature film by Tim Matsui and MediaStorm, gives voice and meaning to the crisis of minors who are forced and coerced into the American sex trade.
