Hey, I've dropped my first E-Book. Pricing Secrets All the Pros Know www.thecartymethod.com/pricingsecrets IT'S FREE.

[@hamyankee9343]

I’m tired of the old KZbinrs I used to watch. They all use the same music, slo-mo, unnecessary cuts, false impression of perfection, and they think they’re entertainers. You, sir, are sincere. This is good mentoring, guidance, and inspiration.

[@stevecarty]

Thx so much. I’m here for you. Ask me anything.

[@kidheyful]

Incredible. Years of watching photography videos on KZbin - but Carty just hits different. Thank you.

[@stevecarty]

Wow, thank you!

[@SargentSnapshots]

No quick cuts - no flashy B-roll. Give me the raw truth. If you're watching content for entertainment than you're a CONSUMER and not a CREATOR. If you PRODUCE more than you CONSUME then you'll always find yourself in a place of peace, power, and prosperity. Real recognizes real Carty. Love this video - keep making content like this. You'll continue to find your tribe as you already have.

[@stevecarty]

I appreciate you so much Matt.

[@cornellwilliams5191]

Really appreciate your No Nonsense approach. Your advice and words are Powerful. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏾💯

[@Cameron2049]

I have watched this video three times and I really truly feel like it has completely changed my perspective so thank you for this type of content

[@stevecarty]

I’m so glad Cameron. You got this.

[@johnmcdevitt4750]

This one hit hard for me. I've been in the exact same space, doing the exact same things, living off those dopamine hits. This helped.

[@stevecarty]

You’re the only one that has the power to change your reality

[@thriceborn7665]

Fam this was me in my consulting business. It's easy to get complacent. I'm thankful I've been getting on track lately and have been successful and looking to expand into photography. This channel has been indispensable. Appreciate the Candor bro.👊🏾

[@stevecarty]

Thx for finding me. I’m here for you.

[@kenmorrisproducer]

4:30 “Pushing into the unknown” I could really relate to that! There’s a jasmine vine in my backyard and as it grows, it’s always sending out little tendrils trying to find a branch or something to hold on to. If it doesn’t reach after a few weeks, the plant reroutes itself into a different direction trying to find support for future growth. But the plant never says “I’m scared this path won’t work.” It just grows and makes adjustments as necessary. I’m working on having the confidence of that jasmine. Also, thank you for your time making this video and sharing it with us 🙏🏻

[@stevecarty]

You're very welcome. consider subscribing.

[@CurtisbCreative]

Everyone and I mean everyone that wants to be a great full time creative, NEEDS YOUR INFORMATION. Carty thank you so much for all your hard work and amazing stories 👊🏼📸 I’ve been a creative for 14 years and I can’t believe I’m just now hearing some of this facts. You have definitely made me laugh out load calling me out on some of my shortcomings. So thank you on that as well!

[@stevecarty]

You are so welcome!

[@robertharvey2580]

I’m so glad I found this channel

[@stevecarty]

Me too

[@csc-photo]

Man this channel is gold - thank you 🙌🏻✨

[@stevecarty]

Glad we found each other.

[@garyanderson4653]

Needed this today - hell, I've needed it for awhile now. Thanks, Carty.

[@stevecarty]

I’m here for you Gary. Stay close.

[@luissalazar2021]

Wow , that’s amazing news you are speaking my language. Thank you for sharing

[@stevecarty]

You are so welcome

[@slimiimils4241]

replay gang ! oops nope, watch gang ! great vid and a way better editing than the last :) keep up the good work

[@stevecarty]

Appreciate you. Tried something on the reclaim video. I have to mix it up or even I get bored.

[@jamesjohnsonjr.6471]

I'm blessed to have found your channel. I've been following for 3 weeks now and you have given some of the best information I've received since I started shooting professionally. Thank you for your direct style and not using all the smoke and mirrors mess!

[@stevecarty]

Thx so much james. Stay close. More to come. Join my mailing list. Link in bio

[@morgannelson884]

Always something I need to hear. ❤

[@stevecarty]

Glad you’re here Morgan. Stay close.

[@HealthyBodyBySophie]

Once again... Thanks for for another authentic gem of an upload! Our channel is a Niagara based fitness and wellness channel, but every creator these days needs photography advice. This is only one of the reasons why we are regular viewers of your channel. Pure and simple... we just like your positive, helpful vibe as well as the useful pearls of wisdom and technical info. Keep dropping the truth bombs... keeping it real is the only way to go. also digging you not over editing with quick cuts and rapid fire B-roll.

[@stevecarty]

Thank you so very much best comment of the day. 🫶🏾🖤👈🏾

[@slimHaRDaWaY513]

Needed this 🔥💪🏾🫡

[@gioortiz8459]

First I must say you’re a blessing to the community. Your videos are awesome with great info so I had to subscribe. I am a beginner and I already have a Christmas event coming up on the 16th that I’ll be shooting and I would love for you or any others to give me some pointers on my scenario. I’m very intimidated and would appreciate to hear from people far more experienced than I am. If anyone can help please let me know so I can tell you what I’ll be doing without making this initial comment way too long. Thanks in advance!

[@stevecarty]

Join my discord. I can’t tell you how to handle a pro job if you don’t have the experience yet to be doing one. I have no idea if your level of work or your level of understanding. And this type of work I avoid at all costs. You’re taking pictures. I’m teaching how to make pictures.

[@jaydakid4208]

This is what i needed to hear for real brother!!! You need to have a Toronto meet up!! Would love to meet up with you for real!!! Thanks so much!!!!

[@stevecarty]

They happen. You just miss them. Join my mailing list.

[@jaydakid4208]

@stevecarty say no more sir!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🫡🫡🫡🫡

[@Rad-n-Colorado]

Your content is so amazing !

[@stevecarty]

Thank you so much!!

[@dangilmore9724]

Truth. My personal photography work, which has very little to do with my professional work, is what gets me work. I get out there and shoot, see and be seen, and network literally on the street. Get pit and shoot whenever you can and ignore the naysayers.

[@stevecarty]

so if you agree, why not subscribe?

[@dangilmore9724]

@stevecarty I should subscribe. You've got a great channel and you too have suffered through a Canadian winter (I'm in North Carolina but have lived and worked in Toronto and Halifax many years ago. Toronto is a fun city).

[@annabyhoff1288]

Great video as always!

[@stevecarty]

Thx for watching through. .

[@kevinwhitehead6087]

Just want to say thank you. That's it that's all.

[@stevecarty]

Very welcome Kevin.

[@djraston]

I needed to hear this

[@stevecarty]

Happy to help.

[@s.cottrill]

Lets get this knowledge.

[@JosephMichelGratton-fu4ro]

Wow, you're such a gift to the community, Carty! I feel such gratitude for having discovered you and joining your community. It's really insane when you think about it. Wow, man! This really hit home, especially the gaming part and just letting it fuck up your life! I'm pushing into the unknown, thanks to you, Carty!

[@stevecarty]

Hey Joe. It’s like this. Me we. (Mohammed Ali, shortest poem ever written) and each one teach one. I show you and you show another.

[@vanwas]

Thank you for this. I feel this and can relate so much. Thanks for being real and sharing the truth.

[@stevecarty]

Thx for finding me. Stay close.

[@JAngelVisuals]

Love your content man! Just straight knowledge. This is exactly where I feel like I'm at so and it's for sure time to make those changes

[@stevecarty]

Thx for finding me

[@mr02gixxer1000]

Enough said! The truth shall set you free! I hear you thank you for sharing!!

[@stevecarty]

thx for watching.

[@mr02gixxer1000]

No thank you!!

[@ILovettPhoto]

I feel so seen 4:15

[@stevecarty]

Subscribe.

[@เที่ยวกับพี่แหลม]

Thank you so much.

[@stevecarty]

You're welcome!

[@vladimir-qt5bl]

Whoa...turned this video on to listen to in the background while I edited and did not expect it to resonate so much!!! Us photographers/artists are prone to escaping in fantasy, I think, and this can take form in some very unhealthy habits...hoping to work on this....

[@stevecarty]

Watch it now with focus. And then the mindset of the broke photographer. Same playlist.

[@vladimir-qt5bl]

Yes, i rewatched a couple of times! And think I discovered you via that broke photographer mindset video which also resonated completely! I’ve since made some changes in my business and am already receiving so much more demand for my services. Your videos are a GIFT! You are a gift

[@stevecarty]

Thx so much. I’m here. Use me

[@ILovettPhoto]

So much helpful information! Keep doing what you do!! 2:14

[@stevecarty]

Let’s go matt.

[@pandaosa9]

I'm working through Dan Koe's program at the moment - that's cool that you're also being influenced by his work as well as I'm very much appreciating your perspective on creating a photography business!

[@stevecarty]

Hey pandosa, ya he shook me. I had already turned my life around but watching Chris Do from the Futur, Ali Abdaal and now Dan Koe and Mark Manson has helped me shift the way I deliver my content. Feedback from viewers like you tell me I’m on the right path. Love and light from Toronto.

[@NemouseJurado]

Staying away from tendencies and focus on your wanted skills will get you better results always, remember to compare yourself from your skills from yesterday not other photo careers.

[@asiab5021]

I heard you say when you were in photography school. I’m trying to decide if i should go to my local tech school for photography or continue teaching myself. I don’t really have anyone to practice on except my girlfriend. So I’m wondering is school worth it?

[@stevecarty]

depends on the tech school and the person that got the job as "teacher". if they are a working pro with years experience. hells ya. but likely they are an enthusiast that understands apertures and shutterspeed and has packaged that info and called it a tech course. I'd join my upcoming masterclass or take the last spot in my mentorship program. i have 9 in. i take 10. i close the button sunday evening whether i have 10 or not. i'm raising my prices next round and changing the requirements. soon it will be an application process and $150 more than it is currently. stevecarty.com/learn i'm building out an entire education program for people just like you. pro photography education is non existent or shit. i'm here to change that.

[@tony_1883]

Hello Carty, thank you for this content. It's very insightful, motivational and personal. I learned about you from KZbin while looking for some tips and tricks on photography. My first impression was that you are an interesting and optimistic guy. I would never imagine you having the life you described before... There are so many distractions in this world. You hit the nail on its head with comparison to gaming. 👍 Congratulations to you that you have turned it around and big thanks that you share so much wisdom with emerging photographers. After seeing tens of your videos I couldn't say what exactly keeps me on your channel but today I have realized it's because of your no-bullshit content. Please continue this excellent work.

[@stevecarty]

Thx so much for watching Tony.
