His career spans decades and includes collaborations with major organizations, such as Reuters, The Associated Press, MLB, and the NBA.
Scott served 22 seasons as the team photographer of the Tampa Bay Lightning while also serving as the house photographer for the Amalie Arena and the Yuengling Center. Scott’s photos illustrate the pages of “Tampa Bay Lightning: Winning Ways – The Making of a Championship Heart,” and his unprecedented behind-the-scenes photos of Lightning players in their 2004 climb to Stanley Cup champions were turned into a solo exhibition at the Tampa Museum of Art.
In 2022, Scott’s mesmerizing underwater photography took center stage in “A Siren’s Peril,” a two-week exhibit at a Downtown Lakeland art gallery. His underwater portraiture also has been featured in a variety of City Arts exhibits in Downtown Orlando.
His talent and dedication as a photographer have earned him media recognition in outlets such as WEDU’s “Arts Plus,” the Standard Times, Polk County Moms, and “Good Day, Tampa Bay.”
