Outstanding Photographers

Introducing the incredible work of Scott Masterton, exploring the beauty of our planet through photography!

Introducing our 157th featured artist, Scott Masterton from North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland! Skimmimg through his images I’m sure you will all agree Scott is a born artist with a deep love and appreciation of the beauty of the world around him! With a natural talent like his coupled with a true passion for nature one can imagine the high quality, reliable photography that Scott puts out with each and every shot! Below is but a small sampling of the incredible work of Scott Masterton!

I love exploring the beauty of our planet through photography and am endeavouring to add images showing the beauty of nature to the planetary photostream. I especially enjoy how the act of taking photos anchors you in the here and now, heightening the senses and enhancing the moment…. it makes me feel alive.

My particular interest is in landscapes, often minimalist. I enjoy the empty places of our fascinating and beautiful world. I find light fascinating, particularly its interaction with time, and long exposure work often features in my images. Mostly though, I like color and my shots reflect what I feel I saw, and experienced, at the moment of capture.

I used to be a trout fisherman, something I’ve all but given up, and I find landscape photography to be a very similar pursuit… The best times are around sunrise and sunset, you get out and enjoy nature, you never know what you might catch, and there is always the one that you almost caught that got away!

I get a lot of pleasure from looking at the work of other photographers around the world who share their work and let me see places and light that I will never have time to see myself… I was born and bred in Scotland, a country I love, and I try to share the beauty of my country in return.

Finally I like to travel and have some fun with my photography and that’s where my little friend Hamish helps me out.

Artist’s statement:

I’m a Lisbon based landscape, travel, fine art and wedding photographer.
I started photography around 2006, and since then it’s had a growing part in my life, expanding from mainly shooting waterscapes to encompass a wide range of subjects and professional wedding photography.
