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. The photosharing [...]]]> http://www.stevecarty.com/quality-and-originality-still-have-value/feed/ 0 http://www.stevecarty.com/create-your-own-legend/ http://www.stevecarty.com/create-your-own-legend/#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:00:56 +0000 carty http://www.stevecarty.com/?p=8965

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. He’s an amazing industry insider and if you are trying to model or be a photographer, his website and photographer meet ups are worth investigating.

I have this thing lately for birds in flight. I shot this on a cold Tuesday afternoon where I found myself with numb hands and feeling like I wasn’t seeing much to shoot.

I bought my Hasselblad 500CM exactly 20 years ago. It was my main camera from 1991-2004. In 1991 when I bought mine, it was the 50th anniversary of Victor Hasselblad’s creation.
