Hey, I’m Steve Carty.

I’ve spent over 34 years working as a professional photographer. I built my career making editorial portraits, streetstyle images, and commercial work for brands like Nike and Apple. I’ve photographed celebrities, shaped campaigns, and navigated this industry through every high and low.

The Carty Method Substack is where I share the frameworks, mindset shifts, and proven strategies I’ve used—and continue to use—to build a career that lasts.

If you're trying to move from hobbyist to professional, or you're already working and trying to grow your photography business with purpose, this space is designed for you.

If you become a paid subscriber, here’s what you’ll get:

• My weekly deep-dive newsletter—real insight from 34 years in the game
Access to my core business frameworks and pricing models

⚡️I'm a internationally published Pro photographer with over 30yrs experience, specializing in editorial portraits, street style, and advertising⚡️ https://wlo.link/@stevecarty
I studied Production Design to become a photographer, married to my creative director and muse. Heavily influenced by cinema, I cling to retro values, visuals, and ideals. Advocate for ART, not EGO.
Being a long-time hobbyist photographer since I was a teenager, I've had a love for photography, but I've been doing IT work--fixing computer systems and networks. 30 years ago, I had a choice, now I'm making a different choice.
