"Based in Toronto, Carty works across North America and frequently travels to the UK, Europe, and Central America for his assignments. In 2009, he released his first book, "Positives," and was selected for "Carte Blanche," the first book of Canadian Contemporary Photographers, which is available worldwide.

Beyond his work behind the camera, Carty is passionate about mentoring emerging photographers. He shares his 34 years of experience through his active YouTube channel, where he offers free professional photography education that cuts through the noise with authenticity and directness.

In Jan 2024, he founded The Carty Method, a comprehensive professional photography education system designed for the modern creator, helping photographers transition from struggling to thriving in the 21st century creative industry." -Tim Foran.
