Hi, I'm Scott.

 

Based in Simcoe County (near Barrie, Ontario) I have two photography passions – Sports and Wildlife.

Initially it was the hobby of birding that got me into photography, capturing images primarily for identification purposes. This quickly evolved into a greater interest in the art and act of wildlife photography itself, while keeping birds as my primary subject matter.

 

When my children began taking part in competitive sports, I immediately found that the artistic and technical photography skillsets directly relate, opening up a new genre for me to explore.

 

Both begin with practicing patience. Observing behaviour and learning to predict action & movement. Understanding environment and lighting conditions to know optimal positions and angles in order to freeze moments and capture memories.

 

Be it wading through a mosquito infested swamp, a frigid arena, or crouched courtside in a deafening gymnasium, my approach to Sports and Wildlife photography is the same – be unobtrusive, allowing for the capture of unique and exciting moments.
