Carter Grotta Photography

About Me
I’m Carter Grotta—a commercial photographer, storyteller, and lighting specialist with a background in Advertising Photography from RIT and over a decade of experience creating bold, strategic visuals. My work lives at the intersection of creativity and clarity—built to elevate brands, launch campaigns, and bring high-impact stories to life.

I specialize in music, sports, dance, product, and lifestyle photography, with a focus on lighting and concept-driven direction. Whether it’s a content campaign, artist promo, or commercial shoot, my approach is rooted in narrative thinking and technical precision—translating brand identity and human energy into compelling, visual language.

My Studio
I proudly own and shoot out of space67studios, a creative production studio in Norwalk, Connecticut. The space features a full cyclorama wall, flexible lighting setups, prep and glam areas, and a versatile layout designed for both fast-paced content shoots and polished commercial productions.

While the studio is home base, I book worldwide and frequently travel for shoots. Whether you're producing in NYC, LA, Europe, or on tour, I bring the same attention to craft, team collaboration, and efficient execution on location as I do in studio.

Let's Build
If you're looking for a photographer who brings creative direction, lighting expertise, and commercial execution to the table—I'm here to help you build something that hits.
