Scott T. Baxter / Photographer
I have always been drawn to people. Regardless of the setting, the human element in a photograph will always give one a sense of place and perspective. There are no subjective nor hidden meanings in my work. I rely on a simple feeling, responding to what moves me. It is a fleeting moment. I try to portray those that I photograph in a genuine way that allows them to retain a sense of pride and dignity. Seeking a way to give something back through my photography, I have made an effort to make philanthropic projects an integral part of my work. Having been trained in film, I now work in both digital and film. My film work is primarily black and white, and I still process my own film and print all of my own silver prints.
