ABOUT SCOTT
I am a Melbourne-based portrait and advertising photographer specialising in authentic environmental portraits of real people.
For over 30 years I have photographed a diverse range of people in locations around the world, from 50 Cent in New York to children playing in the dirt lanes of Soweto.
I've photographed a world champion free diver, a WBC, IBF, & WBA title holding boxer, burlesque stars, boy bands, rappers, actors, models, sports people, business leaders, business owners, trades people, news readers, TV dramas, reality TV contestants & an SAS soldier turned mercenary.
I've worked on location in jungles & lakes in Thailand, and biker bars in Southampton; on beaches in Spain, Australia, the Maldives & Nicaragua; in studios, hotels and offices in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London, Zurich, Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne.
My clients have ranged from health care organisations, television productions, telecoms, insurance & energy companies to fashion & swimwear brands, advertising agencies, magazines & celebrities. I'm fluent at shooting all types of people in all situations.
Whether working in a studio or on location, my talent lies in capturing a narrative behind each beautifully lit image.
For over 10 years I've regularly shot alongside directors and DOPs on film and television sets, capturing marketing campaigns, publicity images and unit stills for broadcasters, production companies and advertising clients.
I started my career in Auckland, spent 12 years in London, and I'm now settled in Melbourne with my wife Georgina and our son Oscar.
