{{Short description|American photographer (b. 1971)}} {{Use dmy dates|date=September 2015}} '''Carolyn Drake''' (born 1971) is an American photographer based in Vallejo, California. She works on long term photo-based projects seeking to interrogate dominant historical narratives and imagine alternatives to them. Her work explores community and the interactions within it, as well as the barriers and connections between people, between places and between ways of perceiving. her practice has embraced collaboration, and through this, collage, drawing, sewing, text, and found images have been integrated into her work. She is interested in collapsing the traditional divide between author and subject, the real and the imaginary, challenging entrenched binaries.

Drake's extensive work among people in Central Asia, and Xinjiang in China, is presented in two self-published books, ''Two Rivers'' and ''Wild Pigeon''. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art presented a solo exhibition of the latter and acquired the collection of original works from the project in 2018.

Drake is a member of Magnum Photos. She has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship,<ref name="guggenheim-fellowship">[http://www.gf.org/fellows/all-fellows/carolyn-drake/ Carolyn Drake] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180720080959/http://www.gf.org/fellows/all-fellows/carolyn-drake/ |date=20 July 2018 }}, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
