FIND ME ON:

I'm Steve Carty

I've been a working Pro shooter for 34 years.

➡️ I shot some of the earliest magazine photos of celebs like Pharrell Williams, Thom Yorke & Kanye West. 

➡️ I've had the pleasure of photographing actors like Colin Firth, Sandra Oh, Michael Sheen and so many more.

➡️ I create principal photography for everything from magazine editorial to major television series promo to advertising campaigns that span major brands to educational institutions. 

➡️ In 2014, I signed a 2yr deal with Canon Canada becoming their first brand ambassador. Before McKinnon.

➡️ I've lectured creatives and photographers for Adobe, Canon, DHL, Profusion Expo as well as numerous Photography Schools and Universities.

Over the past 25 years of mentoring shooters, I’ve helped hundreds of photographers in person and thousands of photographers on YouTube, level up their photography, find their niche, get their first jobs and some have scaled up to over $100k per year at this profession.

I call it "the CARTY METHOD"

MY METHODOLOGY

34 Years experience as a working pro.

I've practiced what I preach for the past 3 1/2 decades. If you want to fall into the rabbit hole that is my portfolio, from Kanye West to Colin Firth, Thom Yorke to Sandra Oh, my commercial portfolio runs deep.
