About

Scott Wyden Kivowitz

scottwyden-portrait

I am a New Jersey photographer with focus on both landscape and portrait photography. My work has been published in newspapers, magazines and used by ad agencies throughout the North East US. My photographic style has been compared to inspiring photographers like Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander and Ansel Adams. I offer a creative, unique and personal touch that is one of a kind. If requested I use the HDR photography technique as a unique perspective for the client. I am available in NJ, NY, PA, CT, and NYC. My passion extends beyond just the realm of photography. Reaching out to local communities, I regularly donate time to those who need it. From taking photos for charities to shooting portraits of families that can’t afford them, I try to give back when possible.

“Look closer at the simple things in life. Admire the shapes, colors and patterns. There is beauty. Photograph it.”

One thing that keeps my heart pumping for photography is the feeling I get when I see something worth capturing. It might be something simple. It might be something so amazing that I would hate myself for not taking the picture. A good exercise for inspiration and learning is to go for a walk around town with just a camera. You never now what you might see worth photographing. Life’s “Aha moments” are usually when you least expect them. What do you notice when walking around town? Do you see the little details, funny signs or strange-looking people? It’s amazing when you see something and you get that feeling in your heart, to photograph it. It’s about those moments that I like to call that the “Laundromat Lights feeling”.

Please join me on Twitter, Google Plus or Facebook and let’s talk photography.

Scott just Rocks!! Once we met meet I found him to be specific to detail and a perfectionists within the Arts. His innate talent and attention to his own performance underlines his true quality. – Joey Quintero www.fotoquintero.com (photographer)
