We chat to Bob Carey, a New York-based fine art and commercial photographer who shoots from the heart. His images are powerful and meaningful. He was working regularly for some major American corporations and his fine art photography was getting exhibited in prestigious galleries.

Then Bob’s world was rocked when his wife Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer, Bob was no stranger to breast cancer having lost his mother to the disease several years earlier. After his mother’s death Bob had used his art as a way of expressing how he felt. These works caught the attention of art dealers and art directors and were the catalyst for his rise as a photographer. When his wife Linda was diagnosed Bob once again relied on his fine art photography to help him deal with and heal his emotions.

Bob’s personal projects were created to heal himself but when he began to share his work, first with his wife and then with other patients everything changed.
