Scott Duvall has been the principle photographer and owner of Fotografata da Duvall Inc. for over twenty-five years. Scott’s award winning photography has been enjoyed by clients from around the world.

He has traveled and conducted seminars on glamour, creative, and alternative styles of photography in many regions of the United States as well as Tokyo and Hong Kong. He has also won many awards for his work including the prestigious Ester Monk award from the Professional Photographers of Oregon Inc.

Scott began experimenting with photography to relieve the boredom of teenage life. Using whatever cameras were available he photographed friends and family and used an old slide projector as an englarger to print photographs in his basement. In this way he discovered the power of the liberated imagination.

Scott is at his best working one on one with a client to create a visual image of their inner-self. He encourages the exotic and mysterious side of a person to come out with an eye to the theatrical and fantastic.

Favorite colors, mythic archetypes, symbols and personal attitudes makeup the palette from which Scott and his client create a colorful and always singular work. He is always looking for ways to tease out an image from a persons private fantasy world and have it manifest in front of the camera. An integral part of this is his own artistic vision in the form of a digital fantasy reflecting his client’s own self-explorations.

Angels of light and darkness, nature spirits, water nymphs, female warriors and earth goddesses, sacred seductresses and femme fatales; these are but a few of the personas donned by the women in Scott’s photographs. They are personas of mystery and spiritual force given life in the imagination and rendered through the medium of digital photography.

Although he naturally gravitates toward the theatrical Scott’s traditional portrait work shows him to be a true master of light and character; leaving no doubt that his subjects trust his instincts as a craftsman while opening up to his personal warmth and charisma.

Scott is not the kind of artist who creates in a vacuum. He prefers the process of creative discovery that comes into play when someone steps through his studio door, perhaps coming for the first time into such an environment. For him, that’s when the excitement begins.

“My goal is to capture both the inner and outer spirit of my subjects. By mixing symbols and images we create a fantastic photographic depiction of the body, mind, and soul.”
