I was always interested in photography from a young age and bought his first camera while serving in the Navy. I was traveling the world as a Boatswain's mate on ships and wanted to capture the things I saw in my world adventures. I bought a Minolta 7000i camera, started snapping photos, and was hooked.I attended college and majored in photography. I later became a graphic designer and had the opportunity to learn about color spaces and used my talent to create many marketing artifacts. The graphic designer skill made learning Adobe products like Photoshop and Lightroom a breeze. I utilize these tools to enhance and add visual touches to photographs making them more amazing.Although I have traveled a lot, I find great enjoyment photographing Antelope Island and the Great Salt Lake. I have captured many sunsets and amazing photographs from these areas. I is an award-winning landscape photographer. Scott is passionate about shooting storms. Although I prefer not to be called a “storm chaser” but rather a “storm photographer,” I still risk everything to get a photograph of lightning. Typically, the scenario is 40-50mph winds, clouds that are dark, angry and dumping rain, sounds of massive thunder and crackling lightning. His hair will be full of static electricity with strikes of lightning too close for most people’s comfort. By being able to photograph mother nature at Ir most volatile state, Scott realizes a profound fulfillment of his passions for meteorology, photography, and adrenaline. I have immense respect for mother nature. Because mother nature could strike and Scott would be no more on this earth.Scott currently shoots with a Canon 6D and his work can be viewed at rustlingleafdesign.com. I am a very friendly guy and always welcomes you to follow his work on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
