Joseph “JC” Carey is a dad, educator, traveler, troublemaker, and lifelong image maker. He lives in the NYC area and is the Nikon Professional Services representative for the Northeast United States. After retiring from the New York City Police Department, he had a lighting class bestowed upon him as a gift for his 33rd birthday. That gift changed everything. From someone that barely took pictures of people and knew nothing about lighting he dove headfirst into trying to figure out how to light everything. The last 14 years have passed with him being blessed with a daughter, a career doing what he loves, multiple magazine covers, and with meeting amazing people and trying to create great images of them. The art of photography and taking pictures is his passion but the ability to make a photograph and create his vision is what truly drives him.
