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.
