Photography by Scott R. Watters
Photography for me is a passion and not a business. I approach every session with the goal of producing the absolute best image for my subject and myself. There is no excuse for anything less. If you are interested in working with me, please be prepared to bring the same attitude and effort to our collaboration.
I shoot both in the studio and on location with strobes and natural lighting. It really depends on the mood you want to set for your photograph. Send me a message and we can discuss what will be best for you and your needs. Your images can be created directly to digital or with medium format film. All equipment used to produce your photographs is high end professional brands and models. Cameras and lenses by Nikon and Hasselblad, lighting by Hensel, and post processing with Adobe Photoshop CS4 on Apple Macintosh computers. Output is delivered on CD-ROM or physical prints. Non-commercial release is standard with full publishing rights available upon negotiation. I retain full copyright on all non-commissioned works.
SPECIAL PROJECTS:
"So, You Think You've Got Face?"
I'm looking for fresh faces and willing to offer a very limited number of free two look test shoots to exceptional models. I'm looking for both female and male models with striking facial features, clear skin, and the ability to strike an expression on demand. If you are a new model with little experience, please know your limitations and be honest with me. I might accept, but you should have some images in your current portfolio to back it up. In exchange for your time you will receive two full size edited digital images from each look and a reproduction release for your promotional use. I can also provide physical prints up to 9x12 in size.
Please send me a message or email with a link to your online portfolio for consideration. Minors will be considered, but please no kids under 16 years of age. All models (or parents of minors) will be required to sign a model release which will be provided before the shoot. Sessions will be conducted at my current Dallas studio or at my new location near Little Elm when it is completed in July.
Good luck and I hope to produce some amazing images in this search.
"Celebrity Style Portraits"
I am starting a project to capture the look and feel of some famous celebrity portrait photographers. For students of the genre, names like Richard Avedon, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, and Jerry Avenaim will tell you the styles I hope to inspire these images. This project will be mostly shot on film to capture the detail I want. Models for this project must be completely comfortable in front of the camera and have the ability to let their personality (or someone else's) show through. I will provide two edited digital or print images from the shoot along with a promotional release allowing their use in your online and printed portfolio. Since publication of this project is my main goal, a full release must be signed. I will also provide a tear sheet should the images become published in a magazine or online publication.
Please send me a message or email with a link to your online portfolio for consideration. Minors will be considered, but please no children under 10 years of age. All models (or parents of minors) will be required to sign a model release which will be provided before the shoot. Sessions will be conducted at my current Dallas studio or at my new location near Little Elm when it is completed in July.
Test Shoot:
If I feel you have a look that I need for my portfolio or a commercial project, I will contact you requesting a test shoot. I can sometimes make room for additional testing, but I ask that you be willing to hire a MUA and have access to appropriate wardrobe for the style you want to shoot. Feel free to ask, but my availability is very limited.
Traveling Models:
I get many solicitations from models who make their living by offering their services to photographers. I'm sorry, but like you, I also have expenses and do not pay models for portfolio work. Best of wishes in your travels, but realize that your request or offer will most likely go unanswered. Models are paid for commercial projects only.
Adult Content:
I do not shoot content for adult pay sites.
