BECOME A HIGH VALUE WORKING PRO.

HEY.
I'm Steve Carty
"Would you agree, It’s hardest and slowest to assess how good you are as a photographer? And... Being assessed by another creative takes a certain kind of courage?" I know this to be true and I think you do too.
You're likely the kind of person that sees value in therapy, and would also see the value in being taken back to the very core of your desires with your camera. What's your process? Why you think you’re good enough to be a Pro?
Over the past 25 years of mentoring shooters, I've created a 6 part system for turning emerging photographers into working Pros.
I call it "the CARTY METHOD"

The Carty Method.
"The future photographer isn't just a photographer at all. They have mastered the evergreen skills to bridge the gap to becoming a content creator. An idea generator. A storyteller, A specialist in idea execution. One that brings value to every table they attend."
Michael Stimatze
"I came across Carty while randomly scrolling YouTube one evening. I was looking for photography advice.
I joined his masterclass hoping to hone my skills and maybe start making a little side money with my camera.
I never thought of being a full time professional photographer. Now I don’t just think it is possible, I know it is likely. Following the Carty Method will make that happen. So I took the leap and set up my photography business . I'm officially registered."
Selim El Madani
"Doing sessions with Carty is like having a personal art director judging you but the beauty of these 1 on 1 sessions is that you don't receive a negative answer, you get tailored advice to reach new highs so that when you're ready to show your work to art directors, your work is top level.
After my session with Carty, I had personalized guidance and things to look for in my photography to improve immediately."
Ana Krachkovskaya
"Carty is an exceptionally generous and insightful coach. His photo reviews are incredibly detailed and thorough, providing valuable feedback for improvement.
Moreover, Carty generously shares his personal experience and extensive knowledge of running a photography business, enriching the learning experience.
Being a part of Carty's Discord channel, as well as participating in his mentorship and masterclass, has been immensely beneficial and inspiring."
