A course by Scott McDermott
Scott grew up in Switzerland, backpacked through the American West, and trekked the Himalayas before spending the last 20 years as a commercial photographer in New York City. After initially shooting sports, Scott's work eventually shifted toward the athletes themselves and portraiture. This led to him photographing many of the best creative minds in Hollywood, the music industry, and the worlds of business and government. Scott is also a member of International Cinematographers Guild Local 600 as a still photographer.
Along with his advertising work for global brands and major magazines, Scott has created several personal projects including his “Scar Stories” portrait series, the highly acclaimed "Mandela Day” project (capturing the hands and faces of many of those who support Nelson Mandela's message) and a series of portraits accompanying the film "Pop Culture" about the experience of fatherhood. His work has been shown at solo and group exhibits and is held in many collections internationally.
