After twenty years, I answered a call to shoot Nichol Mason, a
classical trained ballerina, who now is pioneering “Modern Dance"
It's the first time I reached a point in my career where I pre
visualized the sitting before introducing a light from a
conversation. I've been heavily inspired by Francis Bacon and Neil
Kellerhouse, both of are reflected in the image. I didn't realize this
until after completing the piece.
America Photographer Scott Drickey (born 1970 in Omaha) has been establishing a relevant body of work since the early 1990s. Drickey started his career studying film in Santa Barbara and assisting notable photographers. For many years he worked as an
advertising and fashion photographer. His ability to pre-visualize while straddling both
sides of technologies has earned him high regard. His specialty is letting his subjects
motivate lighting while anticipating his next move. He’s currently exploring authenticity in his work.
Awards Awarded special projects including work in Sarah Thomas Karle and David Karle case study in their book, “Conserving The Dust Bowl”.
I've never been one to pursue awards but I feel the need to be validated for a storied career from assisting some of the world's most notable photographers to finally finding my perspective after twenty-five years.
