**Ken Carl** (born **Edmund Ken Carl** April 4, 1956, in [Chicago, Illinois](/source/Chicago,_Illinois)) is a documentary photographer based in [Chicago](/source/Chicago). He studied photography at [Columbia College Chicago](/source/Columbia_College_Chicago) and works with photo-based digital imaging as his principal means of creating images for corporate, documentary, editorial and educational programs.

In 2003, Ken Carl took part in a 21-day project in [Tanzania](/source/Tanzania) Africa as a documentary photographer for Climb for Kids program[1] to capture a cultural and technology exchange program with high school students from Chicago installing the first ever computer lab in a secondary school in Tanzania. [2]

In 2013, traveling with [Momenta](/source/Momenta), an organization that promotes photography for social change, Carl visited the [Latika Roy Foundation](/source/Latika_Roy_Foundation) in Dehradun, India. His photos appeared in the October 2013 issue of *[U.S. Catholic](/source/Claretians#Publications)* magazine[3] and helped highlight the Latika Roy Foundation's work serving children with disabilities in India. The body of work began as a personal project and became an ongoing documentary. The work with Latika Roy evolved into his first one-man show.

Carl's work with *Cancer Today* magazine, a quarterly publication by the American Association for Cancer Research[4][5][6] and Cure magazine[7] lent support in the fight against cancer.

In November 2015, Ken Carl's first multimedia video debuted at the [Chicago Cultural Center](/source/Chicago_Cultural_Center) as part of *Moving Dialogs: "Cultural Connections"*,[8] a collaboration between [Deeply Rooted](/source/Deeply_Rooted) Dance Theater, with artistic director Kevin Iega Jeff and Flatfoot Dance Company of [Durban, South Africa](/source/Durban,_South_Africa), with artistic director Lliane Loots. Funded by [MacArthur Foundation](/source/MacArthur_Foundation) International, this exchange brought Flatfoot Dance Company to Chicago where company members trained and collaborated on the creation of a work titled *Encounters*, and offered forums throughout Chicago about the 20th anniversary of the end of apartheid.

Ken Carl has been the official photographer for Taiko Legacy and director [Tatsu Aoki](/source/Tatsu_Aoki) since December, 2011.[when?]
