Carey Shaw (she/her) is a photographer based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Treaty 6. With a BFA from the Alberta College of Art & Design, her career has focused on editorial work, as well as documenting artists and within art institutions. Carey has worked as an Artist in Residence with the Saskatchewan Arts Board and as an educator teaching traditional darkroom practices and portrait photography with PAVED Arts and Remai Modern.
Now in mid-life, she is focusing more on her personal creative work, and experimenting with video, dioramas and the relationship between subject/photographer/viewer. While the themes of women’s vulnerability, resilience, safety, and queer identity run through her work, the process of connecting with her subjects holds equal significance as the image created.
With her partner Steph Krawchuk, their first short film Pin Wheel, premiered at the Mackenzie Art Gallery and screened at the Remai Modern in 2024. In 2027, Carey’s first solo exhibition will be presented at PAVED Arts.
