I used to think the same thing.But most emerging photographers and creative pros are not operating anywhere near their real limits. We’re operating at the edge of our comfort. That’s why growth feels slow. That’s why progress stalls. And that’s why so many talented creatives never unlock the career they say they want.In today’s episode, I break down the truth about “trying harder.” What it actually looks like. What it actually feels like. And why most of us stop the moment things get uncomfortable. I’m going to walk you through the difference between wanting success and working for it. Wanting is emotional. Working is measurable.I talk about the moments in my own photography career where my hand was forced. The times I had no backup plan. No safety net. No choice but to level up. And more importantly, how you can learn to raise your standards before life forces you to.If you’re an emerging photographer or creative professional who wants to grow in 2025, this episode will hit you hard. And maybe that’s exactly what you need.If this brings you value, subscribe. it’s free.The Carty Method Podcast #66 - The Brutal Truth About Effort, Trying Hard & CaringI had a struggling photography business that was barely holding on. I’d been a pro for decades, but the industry changes fast. I was terrible at reaching out and getting new work. I tried showing up on social media, but when it didn’t pay off fast enough, I wasn’t consistent.

Today on The Carty Method Podcast, I break down three lighting lessons you should steal this week from three of the most influential photographers of all time: Yousuf Karsh, Richard Avedon, and Helmut Newton.Each of these masters shaped the visual language we still use today. Their lighting philosophies are as relevant in 2025 as they were decades ago, and when you apply them to your own work, your pictures instantly gain weight, intention, and emotion.I’ll walk you through what made each master iconic, how their lighting created story and character, and most importantly… how you can put these ideas into practice right now to level up your portrait work.This is not about copying. It’s about studying, transforming, and evolving lessons from the greats so you can build a lighting voice that is truly your own.If you’ve ever wanted to make pictures that feel more intentional, more elegant, more honest, or more dramatic, this episode is for you.
