Image taken around Monterey and won’t make the cut.
I have been photographing for 7 years now and by default there’s a pattern with all of my gallery images. If an image is going to make the cut it must have at least 4 of the 8 criteria’s shown below. Sometimes that’s not enough either.
Scott Papek’s Gallery Image Formula.
- Color
- Symmetry
- Shapes
- Movement
- Painting
- Vanish Point
- Abstract
- zen

SCOTT PAPEK PRESENTS “DANCING TIDE”
“Dancing Tide” is a limited edition of only 300 gallery prints.
Returning to where I started my journey as a photographer was a cleanse for my mind and soul. Music, movies, authors, color, water, nature, light, chefs, presentation, design, friends and my family inspire me. The newest pricey camera and lens doesn’t inspire me.
Everyone is creative somehow, someway. All you have to do is find the right tool to get it out of you. Find out more here
