Hey - it’s been a bit… for the newer followers.
Lighting nerd. Dad. Warden of the North.
I’m JC Carey—photographer, educator, and full-time believer that great light changes everything. For the past 15+ years, I’ve had the honor of capturing everything from headshots to weddings to stage dives, high school seniors to Olympic athletes.
I am JCPhotoMedia and also am proud to be part of the amazing team at @westcottlighting, where I get to combine my two passions: lighting and teaching (I sell stuff too) My workshop series From Fear to Flash is built around helping photographers overcome their intimidation with off-camera lighting and find their voice behind the lens.
What drives me? That moment when the light clicks for someone. When they stop fearing the gear and start creating with purpose. I subscribe to the “failing forward,” method and it’s the best kind of progress.
Off-duty, you’ll find me chasing light, cracking dad jokes, and probably carrying more gear than necessary. But hey—better too much than not enough, right?
Have a question about lighting? Want to collab? Just want to talk gear? Drop a comment or shoot me a message. I’m here for it. ⚡️

Happy Halloween! 🎃🃏🐈⬛
Apparently Manhattan didn’t have enough characters, so we brought a couple of our own.
@lipstickandsneakerz and @thegeorgeschroeder absolutely committed to Catwoman and the Joker during our B&H × @westcottlighting photowalk. The looks. The attitude. These two made my job way too much fun.
Swipe through, then tell me—which frame deserves a movie poster? Drop your pick in the comments. 👇
And since it’s Halloween… who’s the ONE comic book character you’d want to be photographed as? I’m taking notes. 📸
Lighting: Westcott FJ800 + the new Rapid Box Fold Flat 4′ Octa. - the photo wagon as stand

“Is it okay… or is it great🤣”
What happens when you bring Joker, Catwoman, a bunch of photographers, and some @westcottlighting gear onto the streets of NYC? A little Gotham-style chaos and some pretty great images!
Yesterday’s Halloween Photowalk with @bhphoto was all about having fun, getting creative, and showing what happens when you take control of the light instead of letting the light control you.
Huge thanks to B&H, our incredible models @lipstickandsneakerz and @thegeorgeschroeder , and everyone who came out to shoot! BIG SHOUT TO MY MAN @marshmedialive for grabbing that last shot!
And yes… I got a couple this time!
Special thanks to Derek and Mike from the @bheventspace for bringing it!

the best shooting locations are the ones where you’re not afraid to get a little dirty.
fantastic day shooting in the junkyard with @uniquephoto, @gerrityphoto, @fujifilmx_us, and @westcottlighting!
An incredible location, a great group of photographers, and @lipstickandsneakerz absolutely KILLING
The shot: Fujifilm GFX100 II with the GF 20-35mm, getting down low and letting that wide-angle perspective do its thing. A Westcott FJ800 brought the punch needed to balance that bright afternoon sun and make our subject pop.
Big light. Wide lens. Bold perspective. And proof that you don’t need a pretty location to make a beautiful photograph.
Huge thanks to everyone who came out and made today such a blast!

Great skies? Luck. Solid lighting? I took care of that.
Football players, dramatic skies, a little creativity, and a whole lot of @westcottlighting !!!!
The trick? Expose for the background, then use Westcott FJ strobes to bring the athletes to life. It’s all about controlling the light instead of letting the light control you.
Of course, convincing football players to jump over each other and generally act like lunatics helps too! As always great to partner with @whauserphoto for these
Which shot is your favorite?

Great light. Great people. Questionable record-keeping on my part. 😂📸
Had an absolute blast on the rooftop with @westcottlighting × @focuscamera × @sonyalpha!
I got to put some of the latest Westcott gear through its paces, including @prolightmods and the #PhotographyWagon, with some incredible people stepping in front of my lens.
The lighting? I had that covered.
Remembering to get everyone’s names and Instagram handles? Apparently, not so much. 🤦♂️ 1. @twiggyversatile
So I’m calling on the power of social media! If you recognize yourself or someone in these shots, TAG AWAY! Share the post, tag your friends, and help me give these awesome people the credit they deserve. I’ll update the post with everyone’s handles as we find them.
Huge thanks to everyone who came out, stepped in front of the camera, and helped make this such a fun event!
Now help me solve the mystery of who’s who! 👇
