About Scott
Photography chose him at an early age and viewing life through a camera became a habit at the age of 12. Purchasing his first 35mm camera at 16, photography became firmly entrenched as part of who he was. Studying the work of the photographers that he admired the most; Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Alfred Stieglitz, Elliot Erwitt, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, a common thread was realized, and switching to B&W seemed the obvious course to take.Working solely with black and white film for the next 20 years, Scott developed a style that noticed the details of the world around him and displayed them in a unique way, separating them from their surroundings to concentrate on their inherent beauty. Scott’s work has been displayed in many exhibits, published in text books, won numerous awards, and is included in many private collections. In 2001, “A Portrait of the Yucatan”, a collection of photographs from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico was published, and in June, 2010, his second book, "Khronikos" was published.
Scott has taught many aspects of photography, from composition to the Zone System. Five years ago, he switched to digital capture and output for his work, both personal and commercial. Scott currently teaches "Black and White Darkroom" and "Introduction to Digital Photography" at Kimball-Jenkins School of Art in Concord , New Hampshire and he sits as a board member of the School of Art Supporters advisory team. He also teaches Photo I and Photo II as an adjunct professor in the Visual Arts degree program at NHTI, Concords Community College.
