Photographer's Profile

Colin Scott

United Kingdom

I'm a travel photographer based in the North of England. Having travelled all my life, I'm passionate about recording those scenes that make travel so rewarding. Photography seems so complex but I love to keep it simple. For me, it's all about just the TWO raw materials - light and time - and to me, that's a privilege to record. In my time I’ve been an army officer, a doctor, a shop assistant, a school teacher, a bartender and a distiller (of some great gin). I can fly a plane, I have climbed many mountains, I enjoy playing bass guitar, cooking curries, not to mention practicing Tai Chi and Qigong and I love riding my motorcycle. My heroes are Steve McQueen (actor), Leonardo da Vinci, Bjorn Borg (tennis), Richard Burton (actor), Gregory Peck (actor), Don Bradman (cricketer), The Who (rockstars!). My favourite films include Where Eagles Dare, Hot Fuzz, Gladiator, Galaxy Quest, High Society, 101 Dalmatians, Guardians of the Galaxy and Roman Holiday. My favourite TV series are The Rookie and Grey's Anatomy. My favourite camera - don’t care - as long as I have one in my hand. I love backgammon, chess and dice games. Most importantly of all, I love my place as a husband, a dad and a dog lover (we have 5..!).
