I am a nomadic travel photographer working in LA, NYC and around the world. A creative soul from the beginning, I was raised by two artists in the mountains of Maine, where I developed a connection to the outdoors and appreciation for natural beauty. I am a self taught photographer and my work has been described as "soft, minimal compositions that lend themselves perfectly to travel photography that evokes a feeling of blissful escapism". My work has been featured in CN Traveller, Elle Decor, Afar, Suitcase Magazine, Design Milk, Architectural Digest and more. I was also named one of the top travel Instagram accounts (@carleyscamera) to follow by Condé Nast Traveller.
