Scott drives with confidence and caution over Bozeman Pass on a snowy spring day. He drives these roads regularly knowing there is a wild moment waiting to be captured. Scott taught himself photography while growing up in the southeastern United States. His two passions of wildlife and photography blended perfectly. He got his first camera at the age of ten and became fascinated by birds of prey, reptiles, and all fauna living in the woods near his house. A family trip in his youth to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem left a lasting impression, and he moved to Missoula, Montana to study Wildlife Biology at the University of Montana. Scott spends many hours out in the park documenting wildlife with his own camera. He helps guests capture the unique moments and freeze frame them in time. Scott’s practiced photography skills are well paired with this landscape where patience and sharp vision are rewarded with the beauty and the majesty of the wild animal kingdom.
