Photographer Spotlight Fran J. Scott<br />
http://fran-j-scott.artistwebsites.com<br />
My name is Fran J. Scott.<br />
I started getting serious about photography in 2006 when some friends talked me into shooting<br />
a dressage show. What started as a hobby escalated into a profession.Though I have<br />
been working as a professional for some years, I still consider myself an amateur who creates<br />
some nice things once in a while.<br />
Horses are my passion, from a very early age. They enlist quite the spectrum of emotion. I can<br />
see it clearly and to my surprise have captured it often.<br />
Every horse will reveal an instant, a glimpse of who they are. That is what interests and excites<br />
me. It’s that silent relationship going on between two athletes, or dear friends. When work<br />
ethic, skill, trust and competitive spirit combine between partners. When both horse and rider<br />
have the same expression of victory, confidence, conviction, and even defeat. Horses are<br />
naturally gregarious. I have found they like to share themselves when given the opportunity..<br />
Subtle ranges of emotion inspire them to do all sorts of wonderful things....therein lies the<br />
magic, the spirit, and the grace of these magnificent creatures.<br />
Through my work I would like to share the beauty and diversity of the horse as I see it and<br />
have them capture the imagination of others the way they have captured mine.<br />
I have always been a fan of Nikon equipment, starting with film. Even though I discovered that<br />
I had <strong>no</strong> enthusiasm for the dark room! Digital was very liberating for me! A far more forgiving<br />
medium, I am virtually unlimited in the digital realm with programs like PSP, Corel painter 12,<br />
wacom tablets, HDR, and numerous other tools to help me bring my work alive. As I technically<br />
improved I was compelled to tell a story through my images.<br />
In art, regardless of the medium, mood for me is everything. if I am <strong>no</strong>t lured inside it will hold<br />
little interest for me. I want to be transported and I want my photos to have that effect on people.<br />
Enhancing and engineering an image helps to intensify that goal. A process I thoroughly<br />
enjoy. But I have to start with something that moves me initially. I am <strong>no</strong>t interested in photographic<br />
correctness as much as how to manipulate the image into a living breathing version of<br />
what’s in my mind. A photo does <strong>no</strong>t have to be crisp clear and precise to invoke the emotion<br />
I’m looking for. A pretty picture is always a good thing but that just wasn’t e<strong>no</strong>ugh. My goal is<br />
to capture an instant that inspires the emotional response of the moment.<br />
I am inspired by many things,... texture, specific light, reflection at the top of the list. Though<br />
I have established a recognizable style, I am ever in a state of morphing. I think that’s where<br />
the art of it applies. I call this “Romancing the image”. There is <strong>no</strong> set of rules or techniques<br />
that I use. I like to experiment. I think of myself as an artist before a photographer.<br />
