I Help Photographers Become High Value Pros.

I'm Carty. I'm an editorial portrait photographer that shoots celebrities, for global brands and magazines from all over.

I help creatives build profitable, systemized businesses that work through my proven 6 phase framework, feedback loops, and pro level community support.

I share the same tactics within my systems that built my 34 year career.

I want in.

My Proven, Six-Phase System

The Carty Method is built around a step-by-step, repeatable framework that walks you from stuck or scattered to structured and sustainable. Each phase builds on the last—from clarifying your niche and building a high-value body of work to systemizing your business and mastering client outreach. It removes the guesswork and replaces it with clarity and direction.

Real-World Assignments Through Portfolio Lab

Inside Portfolio Lab, you get weekly commercial-style briefs that mirror the kind of work magazines, brands, and agencies hire for. These assignments sharpen your technical and creative skills while helping you build a portfolio that attracts paid work in real markets.

Business Systems That Actually Work

The feast-or-famine cycle ends here. The Carty Method helps you build the exact systems I use—covering outward reach, lead generation, onboarding, shooting, and delivery—so you can run your photography business like a pro. No more hoping for clients. You’ll have a machine that brings them to you.

Direct Mentorship and Community Support

Through live reviews, weekly Zoom cohorts, and one-on-one coaching, you’re never doing this alone. You get real-time feedback, professional-level critiques, and targeted guidance from someone who’s spent 34 years in the industry. Plus, you're surrounded by a global community of photographers working toward the same goal: becoming full-time pros.

Starting Your Photography Business?

If you're a new photographer starting your photography business part-time, I've made my blueprint for starting a photography business available for a limited time only.

Developing Your Work?

If you're taking pictures of what's in front of you rather than executing ideas for yourself and others, you're likely not making a nickle.

If your portfolio, website and social media isn't converting, it's your work, not the world.

I can help you develop your work, find your niche and the right sources for your ideas.
