Steve Carty

Carty brings a modern, understated approach to making pictures—rooted in honesty, human connection, and timeless storytelling. His images capture raw, authentic moments without over-stylization, often forming instant connections with his subjects to reveal emotional depth and quiet power.

Known for work that resonates deeply, his portfolio includes major campaigns for Netflix, CBC, and Apple Music, and has appeared in publications like American Photo, Wired (Germany), ELLE Canada, and NUVO. His client list includes Apple, Nike, Canon Canada, Air Canada, CBC, Starbucks, and many others.

Based in Toronto, his work spans North America, the UK, Europe, and Central America. He’s the author of Positives and a featured artist in Carte Blanche: Canadian Contemporary Photographers.

In addition to his photography, Carty is a dedicated mentor. Through his YouTube channel and The Carty Method—founded in 2024—he helps photographers around the world build thriving, professional careers with clarity and confidence.

Géran Raath

With a strong foundation in product and composite photography, I bring years of hands-on experience both behind the camera and in the business of photography.

My journey began with a deep curiosity for visual storytelling and a drive to master the technical side of image creation. Over time, I developed a keen eye for detail and a passion for helping others unlock their creative potential.

After discovering the Carty Method, I was able to combine my artistic vision with proven business strategies, creating a system that not only elevated my own work but also transformed my approach to running a photography business. Now, as a coach with the Carty Method, I’m dedicated to guiding other photographers through that same transformation.

I specialize in product and composite photography, offering practical coaching on building a standout portfolio, mastering complex shoots, and developing efficient workflows that lets your creativity shine.

My approach is all about actionable steps and honest feedback—helping you refine your style, streamline your processes, and build the confidence to take your photography to a professional level.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale, I’m here to support you in turning your passion into a thriving business. I love seeing photographers grow into their potential and am committed to helping you achieve real, lasting change in your craft and career.
