Scott Sternberg

Artist Statement

My nave is Scott Martin Sternberg. I am primarily a self-taught photographer. I picked up the mechanics of photography from my Grandfather (a photographer in WWI & II) and then digital photography by studying books, magazines, and online sources. The ongoing process of finding my own visual style and creating images that resonate with viewers and communicate a sense of place is what keeps photography both challenging and rewarding for me. I still consider myself to be a student of light. I am fascinated by the subtleties of it and the intricacies of shadow and while I explore the many facets of photography and subject matter, I always seem to return to Landscape, Nature and Rural settings. I am not a purest by any means, the photo is often just the beginning for me; the canvas for further creativity. I will often spend many hours with a image in the digital darkroom bringing my vision to life in an attempt to transport the viewer to another time, place, or emotion. I have a keen appreciation for the work of the old masters and I find inspiration from the many fine photographers of today. I try to get people to feel and see what I have seen.
