Scott Swanson

As a recent resident of Virginia, I'm looking to connect with other talented and artistic people in the area.  My previous work has largely been completed in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. 

About me: I'm a laid-back, organized photographer who is looking to continue building my portfolio.  If you are in my area or able to travel, drop me a line and perhaps we can find a way to make some interesting and beautiful images together!

I believe that a photoshoot should be fun and relaxed as well as professional and focused.  When the crew is having fun, the photos show it, and we all leave feeling great too!  If this sounds like the kind of work you would like, we are likely to work well together! 

Escorts: I don't have a problem with escorts at a shoot, in fact, I've often found them to be invaluable - and not only for helping the model to relax! Once we are comfortable together, I am sure you will not feel the need to bring a friend along for safety.

Projects in the queue:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Model playing a musical instrument (I have a beautiful antique dolbro guitar which I want to use with the right person)
* Sunrise photoshoot in a woodland pool.
* Set using a graffiti wall - with the model in ripped up clothes or an elegant gown, or...?
* Sprite, in nature.  Depending on what fits, may be anything from a succubus or warrior elf to a wood nymph.
* Anamalistic body-painted look.  Think tiger, or some other big dangerous cat...
* Location glamour - there are a some great old building which are crying out to act as a backdrop for a model, as are some old barns, and the list goes on!
* Goth/Punk look - fishnet, leather, studded collars, high boots of stiletto heels, anything and everything goes!
* Barn/farm shoot.  Both a farmhand/farmgirl look, and an emotive BW set against the harsh woodgrains of an old building.
* Lingerie or nude on a wood floor.  Contrasting the lines and textures of the floor with the curves and shadows on the model.
* Sports car or motorcycle shoot - nothing sells a vehicle like a bit of sex appeal!
* Activity such as dance, gymnastics, etc.  Virtually any athlete in any sport would work.
* Bride (and groom) - practice for the MUA, and portfolio building for all involved
* Swimwear modeling
* Fully clothed model emerging from a pool.  Think of the image of Halle Berry coming out of the water and up the beach in Bond, or Grace Kelly's head and shoulders emerging from the water.
* Student or librarian - studying or in a study environment, but with hints of curves
* Glamour with a model past the traditional glamour age
* Wet look, wearing a button down shirt, shorts, shiny skin (think perfume ad), or with a fully clothed model coming out of the water, with the clothes clinging to the body
* model wearing jewelry - implied nude or elegant gown which draws attention to the jewelry
