About Cary

Cary’s work was first featured in a national publication when he was 19, and his photos have since appeared in prominent magazines such as National Geographic Adventure, Popular Photography, Alternative Press, and Aviation Week & Space Technology, in calendars, movies, and television. As of 2023, Cary has been published over 230 times.

Having developed a fascination with airplanes at an early age, Cary naturally became involved in commercial aviation photography. After many trips to area airports and attending several airline press events, he became a regular contributor to Airline Pilot Careers magazine, landing five cover photos. Aviation photography became considerably more of a challenge following 9/11, and Cary turned his focus to other subject matter. He began photographing concerts, aided by contacts from his clothing company, Verona Clothing, and through his web design for the bands Hidden in Plain View and Punchline, eventually becoming a photographer for Alternative Press magazine.

In 2005, Cary learned about Atlantic puffins and lighthouses while researching photographic opportunities for an upcoming trip to Maine. He has since grown fond of both subject matters, and often seeks out these interests in his travels around the globe. In 2018, Cary achieved a decade-long goal of getting one of his Atlantic puffin pictures on the tail of a Frontier Airlines aircraft (N322FR).
