Carly Clarke is a British documentary and portrait photographer working primarily with medium format film using a Pentax 6x7. After completing her BA in photography at Middlesex University, London she was awarded the Luck-Hille Postgraduate Photography scholarship for her Master’s degree in Photography. Her work mainly focuses on social and political issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. Storytelling through the voices of the people she photographs is key to her work. She has personally researched, organised and sought funding for all of her overseas projects, which include - 'Remember Me: Vancouver’s DTES', 'Godhūlikāla: India’s Forgotten Elders' and 'Jamadagni’s Temple: The Real Full Moon Festival'.
When she was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2012, she created a self-portrait project, 'Reality Trauma', documenting her journey through treatment and recovery.

She recently won the Royal Photographic Society's Vic Odden award in 2022.
