Artist Statement
Light, color, texture, emotion ... I am known as Scott Leonard and these are the things that anchor me to this realm. As a child I was fascinated by all that I see around me, I am still a child...I have many interests, and fascinations, yet I must say that "the humans" have captured my fascination more than anything else I have encountered so far during my stay here. I feel that I am a very creative being... and for years I searched for a way to express this creativity, words can only express so much. Then I found photography... As a photographer I am an observer of the "human". I feel that my job is to capture the human expression be it in the attire they choose to create, and wear, or in the expressions they share in their body language and facial expressions. My goal as an artist is to show through my work a wide range of things, these consisting mainly of what we call beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. ABOUT MEMy vision consists mainly of beauty, fashion, and lifestyle editorial & commercial work, mainly because I feel that aspect of the human experience captures my attention more than any other. My photographs have been featured online, in art galleries, and print publications locally and internationally.
