I wish Carty nothing but success he obviously loves what he does and does what he loves and few people can make that claim

I've met Carty a few times in toronto ...
the guy not only has talent, he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
and yeah, along with me and a few other cats, he's an old nter from back in the day...and i think the negativity around here does sort of keep him from posting more...
then again, it's probably also because he's working alot i suppose...and once again...
a good crit or comment is never unappreciated here, especially when it's done respectfully..
however, when it's something like 'overrated' or jockriding..
you're not really giving a critique
lvl_13 is right..
at that point you're just being childish...

i agree with the alley shoot tho. looks way too staged. but sometimes that is the pun or the intent of the editor. if that is the case then it is well done.

great stuff. it's so nice to see how Carty has gotten better and better over the years...

simply saying "overrated" or "jock-rider" is both ridiculous and chilidish. it stands no ground and is not a critique by any means."
lvl_13 is right on the money...
just posting "overrated" is not a valid critique... it just comes across as... spiteful.
"i feel his work is overrated." with elaboration would have been nicer unless cofeesoy's whole intent was to spark discussion.

Love the site Carty.
Not a bad list of clients either!

As for the idea of "be nice or shut up", that's rediculous. If you don't want a critique then email the link to your mom.

(Oct 23 06, 10:03)agreed, but to clarify my last post (if your comment was aimed at me) simply saying "overrated" or "jock-rider" is both ridiculous and chilidish. it stands no ground and is not a critique by any means.

I think carty gets the links here because he's an old school nt'er. unfortunately, one who doesn't come by often because of the negativity(go figure).

While I don't care for his work, at all, I acknowledge that he's good at what he does. If perpetuating and glamorizing and commodifying urban contemporary culture is the ideal, Carty is one of the best.
I just think it was absurd years ago when he used to sign every post "Picture Pimp", and when he posts his own site in photography threads. That to me is a bit much.
With that said, I'm sure he's a nice guy, and I'm stoked for anybody on NT who's made it.

I tend to agree with the camp that wonders why this keeps getting posted.
I find his work to be good but not great.
On one hand he seems to have a good working relationship when doing portraiture, especially in the urban vein, but on the other hand all the shots seem flat as far as lighting is concerned.
And, there's a couple of fashion editorials in there that are based on really simple concepts (e.g. gangfight in an alley) and the execution of them is poor. They come off as very much contrived which weakens the original concept even further.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that they all see so . . . fake. I've never really been moved emotionally by any of them which is why I consider them good but not great.
Yet, I always see this link popping up in here all over the place and have to admit that I too have wondered why.
As for the idea of "be nice or shut up", that's rediculous. If you don't want a critique then email the link to your mom.

anyone that can actually make a living just shooting images these days has to be doing something right...
Either you don't like his work or you do what's the difference?
His clients seem to love him and in the end the only people he has to make happy are his clients and himself.
