Jana Carrey is a photographic artist and visual anthropologist who currently lives and works in San Francisco. Carrey has an M.A. (honors) in Visual Anthropology from the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology, University of Manchester, and a B.A. (honors) in Psychology with a concentration in Anthropology and Photography.

Carrey pursues her own conceptual photography projects that marry a social documentary approach with participant-observation based ethnography. Her personal work is concerned with exploring the boundaries of the human condition and human interaction; in particular childhood, social performance, self representation, and the embodied illness/disability experience. Her photographic process is enhanced by her background in psychology and anthropology - which deepens her understanding of people on an individual and cultural level. She is also driven by an interest in personal transformation through healing self-narratives and creativity.

Commercially, Carrey focuses on non-profits with a humanitarian mission. Her previous clients range from large health care organizations and universities to global NGOS's and community based arts organizations.

She is available for photographic assignments (editorial, portraiture, commercial and events).
