Common to Scott’s photographs are the use of strong colors and attention to image quality/details. His scenic photographs are not digitally manipulated or enhanced unnaturally. Scott is a photography purist, but one who embraces the convenience of digital photo editing. “I approach my shooting from the photojournalist perspective,” Scott explains. “I strive to capture a real scene that can be brought vividly to life through careful framing, perspective, and lighting.”

When not shooting assignments, the outdoors-loving Scott can be found hiking, biking, and skiing… with his photography equipment, of course! “While photo equipment backpacks are great for hiking with your equipment,” he explains, “I don’t recommend them while skiing. Twenty-five pounds of photo gear on your back can really throw your balance off!”

If that's not enough, Scott can also be found on stage and in the music studio. He's one of the guitar players for the progressive rock band, Days Before Tomorrow.

Scott is a member of the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) and Nikon Professional Services (NPS). He has a BSBA from the University of Arizona, 1992.
