Scott Peters Photography
The Miracle of Photography – Capturing Light
Man has always had the urge to participate in creative activities. “We have been given the opportunity to mirror His creative activity through the arts.”
For Scott Peters, landscape photography in absolute and abstract form is an important medium that allows the artist to capture and share his vision of what was created. Capturing visible light becomes the ultimate challenge in the life of an artistic photographer when making that special image.
Since fine detail and full tonal scale are critical to Scott, he has no choice but to use large format photography, using primarily 8 x 10 and 7 x 17 inch cameras and traditional wet darkroom contact printing methods on the finest silver chloride paper.
Biography
Scott has been working in photography for more than 25 years, learning both black and white and early color darkroom techniques from his father. In early 2000, he began his journey into fine art photography with large format cameras and in 2006 started in the ultra large format arena with a 7 x 17 camera. His vision is best defined as ‘abstract’ including both color and black and white work. His talents have earned him both commissioned work as well as successful juried exhibitions.
He was commissioned recently for work on the prestigious Indigo Hotel located in Scottsdale, Arizona. His color photography is proudly displayed in the lobby and main floor of the hotel along with black and white work in more than 120 guest rooms. In addition, he was selected for a permanent display of the largest photograph in Arizona, a 30 foot by 25 foot mural which resides on the outside of the hotel entrance.
In addition, Scott recently won Second Place in a Best of Artists juried competition at Scottsdale Community College, being the first among photographs selected.
Scott is also a member of the IMAGEWORKS (www.imageworks.org), a Society for the Advancement of Large Format Photography, which consists of a select group of large format photographers in the Southwest.
