Scott was born in NYC to Swedish and Italian parents. He became a world traveller at a very young age thanks to his parents, due to their busy lives and his Father’s international business ventures.
Having lived part-time in several countries, his family then moved permanently to London when he was 10. He attended Millfield School then spent a year abroad in Moscow, Russia. Throughout his life, he has always kept his innate love of exploring the world, including its different cultures and languages, which reflects a lot in his photographic work. Scott is also fluent in 4 languages.
At University, he was still unsure of his direction in life, like so many of us are at that stage, but knew it had to be something creative, thus choosing to do a double degree in Visual Communication and Media production. It was at University that he had to take several darkroom and studio-based photography classes as part of his credits. It was love at first sight; he had found his passion. Through his Professor Eric’s amazing take on teaching the subject, Scott was totally inspired and amazed by the ability of cameras to catch life’s moments and the creation of photographs in the darkroom.
Having spent all his life to this point learning and studying, Scott was finally ready to spread his wings and go solo. For the past 13 years, Scott has been successfully photographing for a very varied client base worldwide. His main goal at the moment is working on his two travel-inspired fine art series’, the main one being the famous Droplet Series and 3 stunning coffee table books, whilst also doing shoots where he can, in London and throughout the UK.
Scott sees his future one day going back to his roots and using good old-fashioned film and a dark room, creating one of a kind works of art. While he is well travelled and an extremely accomplished photographer, Scott absorbs the world around him and all that it has to offer and is therefore still learning and growing every day.
Scott is also currently doing a 3 year Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling.
“Photography is truth and fantasy. It is the art of loving and feeling what you do. The camera in this is irrelevant; it’s having the true ability to photograph the beauty in what you see. When you photograph your passions in life, you see very clearly”.
