We have nice west facing windows over here at Hermann & Audrey. Friday end of day was no different. I was showing Mr. Leadlay (@nickleadlay) some light and how to work with it and I decided it would be easier to shoot his portrait.

Some of the best Graffiti and Street Art I’ve seen is in London. Street art has always played a large role in my work and has graced the background of many photoshoots. I love it.

I paid “Sunshine” £5 to take his picture. He said, “I’m trying to make a living”. He was selling a few random things on the street outside of Shoreditch House, across from Shoreditch Highstreet station. His style wasn’t outer worldly, but I did like his vibe and husslin’ attitude.

Photographer Glen Calixte is a new intern at Hermann & Audrey. He has a pleasant demeanour and is always trying to push the limits of what he can do with a camera.

I shoot so much with my iPhone 4. I show these images on my Tumblr, our agency Tumblr, and on Instagram and Flickr.

When my little cousin Asha was 14, she asked me to help her become a model. I said, “No, you’re too young”. I also said, “If you still want to model when you’re 17, I’ll help”. Well, last month she turned 17, and she’s 5’10″. This is our second shoot. Our first shoot, which we [...]]]> http://www.stevecarty.com/asha-carty/feed/ 0 http://www.stevecarty.com/quality-and-originality-still-have-value/ http://www.stevecarty.com/quality-and-originality-still-have-value/#comments Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:45:17 +0000 carty http://www.stevecarty.com/?p=8979

We live in the most image savvy time there has ever been. Never before have every day people been so knowledgable about photography, photographers. What photographers they like and who they don’t like. Photographers styles. The photographer is the new superstar, whether it’s shooting with a point and shoot, iPhone, or a DSLR.

How I became a photographer is a long story. I started making pictures and developing black and white when I was 14. I’ve had much photographic education, through high school and at Ryerson University where I studied Stills. I shot my first model at 18, got a studio when I was 21, shot my first [...]]]> http://www.stevecarty.com/create-your-own-legend/feed/ 3 http://www.stevecarty.com/happy-new-year/ http://www.stevecarty.com/happy-new-year/#comments Sun, 01 Jan 2012 18:47:30 +0000 carty http://www.stevecarty.com/?p=8913

I recently had the pleasure of being profiled on Modelresource. I’ve known Dan Grant as an agent and model scout for as long as I can remember.
