The Carty Method: Professional Eduction Systems.

The Carty Method is my proven, six-phase system designed to take serious photographers from where they are right now to the level of high-value, working professionals.

Whether you’re stuck at a creative plateau, struggling to make a living with your camera, or ready to level up and scale your photography business, the Carty Method is a roadmap that will guide you through every phase of growth—from setting your foundation to building a sustainable, high-value photography career.

Efficiency Boost

My systems are easy to use, motivational, extremely detailed, and are the foundation you need to build your creative business. Learn, then Act.

Build Effectively.

We are in the photography business. The more you understand, the more build. Use this Masterclass and Workbook to plan your business.

Thoughts Become Things.

My Phase 1 Workbook is a foundation for your photography work & market, while intelligently guiding you towards achieving your business goals.

Build a Photo Business That Runs Smoothly. Even When You’re Not Behind the Camera.

Most photographers fail to reach their goals because they lack systems. Without a clear, repeatable process, you're stuck winging it—burning time, missing leads, and staying stuck in survival mode.

Phase 4: The Systems Masterclass + Workbook is designed to help photographers implement the back-end structure that turns creative work into a reliable, scalable business.

If you’ve struggled with organization, client management, lead follow-up, or delivering a seamless experience from inquiry to delivery, this phase gives you the exact systems working pros use to stay booked, stay sane, and grow their income without burning out.

It’s for photographers who are tired of feeling scattered, dropping the ball with clients, or trying to juggle a million tools without a strategy. If you want to build a business that operates efficiently—with or without you—Phase 4 is where that starts.

By completing Phase 4, you’ll:

✅ Build a complete client workflow—from inquiry to delivery—so every job runs like clockwork.
✅ Set up lead generation systems that work while you sleep (including ScoreApp and more).
✅ Streamline how you communicate, book, invoice, and deliver using tools like Indy and Calendly.
✅ Start treating your business like a real operation with clear SOPs, automations, and accountability.

You didn’t become a photographer to drown in admin. Phase 4 helps you reclaim your time, serve your clients better, and finally build a business that’s built to last.

What is The Carty Method Masterclass and Workbook System?

Phase 4 Masterclass

Imagine you’ve created strong offers and started attracting great clients—now it’s time to build the internal systems that support long-term success.

The Phase 4 Masterclass is where you learn how to structure the operations of your photography business—client workflows, lead generation, booking, invoicing, delivery, and everything in between. In this interactive session, we’ll cover:

Creating a System for Everything: Build repeatable workflows so each client experience is smooth, professional, and time-efficient.

Tools That Run Your Business: Learn to set up your CRM, booking, invoicing, testimonials, email, and outreach tools using trusted platforms like Indy, Calendly, Senja, and ScoreApp.

Automation & Optimization: Eliminate busywork and build systems that scale—freeing up time for shooting, marketing, and growth.

Phase 4 Workbook

Along with the Masterclass, you’ll receive the Phase 4 Workbook—your tactical guide to building real, working systems inside your photography business.

This workbook takes the ideas from the Masterclass and walks you through exactly how to implement them. Inside, you’ll find:

Client Workflow Mapping: Design every step of your client journey—from first inquiry to final delivery—so nothing gets missed.

Systems Checklist & Tool Setup Guide: Follow step-by-step tasks to set up each system using Indy, Calendly, ScoreApp, Senja, and more.

Business Infrastructure Templates: Build your internal systems for communication, task management, and client follow-up—all designed to scale with your growth.

Why “The Systems” Matter

You can’t grow what you can’t manage. Phase 4 teaches you how to build a photography business that operates efficiently—with or without you.

If you're overwhelmed with admin, losing leads, or wasting time repeating the same tasks, Phase 4 will help you build the backend foundation that turns chaos into consistency.

When your systems work, you can focus on making great pictures—and actually enjoying the business you’ve built.

Phase 4 combines a Masterclass for foundational learning with a Workbook that translates systems thinking into real-world business automation. Whether you’re juggling too many manual tasks or ready to run your business like a well-oiled machine, here’s how to get the most out of it:

Watch the Masterclass

Take notes and focus on how the best photographers structure their business behind the scenes. The Masterclass walks you through the exact systems I use—from lead generation and bookings to testimonials and client follow-up—so you can streamline operations and create more space to create.

Complete the Workbook

Work through the templates and workflows that help you build your own backend system—using tools like Indy for project management, ScoreApp for lead generation, and Senja for testimonials. This is where you design the client journey, automate the admin, and eliminate the bottlenecks slowing you down.

Reflect & Refine

Revisit your systems as your business grows. What works for five clients a month might not work for ten. The beauty of Phase 4 is that it sets you up with tools and templates that evolve with your career—so you stay organized, responsive, and professional at every level.

In essence, watch the Masterclass to see how professionals use systems to protect their time and scale their business. Then, use the Workbook to build your own—creating repeatable processes that let you serve more clients, better, with less stress.

By combining automation tools with real-world workflow strategy, Phase 4 helps you move from hustle to flow—so your business runs smoother, and your creativity stays front and center.

Don't let your photography career be hit or miss.

34 years of assignment and commercial photography has lead to me creating The Carty Method.

By combining step-by-step system building with real-world automation tools, the Phase 4 Masterclass & Workbook System becomes the essential engine for photographers ready to streamline their business operations, scale with confidence, and spend more time creating while the backend works for them.
