I get asked often how do I know where to go shoot next? I don’t want to discredit the research and vision that’s put in but it’s pretty simple. I’m pretty sure the things you photograph or paint is what you care the most about. I care about water. It could be an ocean, stream, lake, river or waterfall. Everything about being around water hits all my senses at once and instantly puts a spell over my body. Not like voodoo shit but it’s pretty incredible.

Scott Papek presents “Still Reflections”
Some people hunt animals, others hunt for bargains, and even more hunt for happiness. Scott, on the other hand, hunts to capture the beauty of nature. With a Massachusetts autumn comes misty, cool days: a perfect time to shoot. As Scott hiked into the Middle Reservoir, he was uncertain of what he would find ahead. Little did he know that he was about to step into one of the most spectacular scenes he has ever experienced. In this photo, Scott effectively captures a collaboration of mood and color that showcases New England’s stunning beauty as it is reflected in the stillness of the water. To buy click here

Wisconsin Pure
Traveling up, down, and side to side looking to capture the peak color and true spirit of Wisconsin was breathtaking. Grant Park, south of Milwaukee was just the place meeting my goal to frame Lake Michigan with the richness surrounding me. I waited patiently for the sun to emerge from the clouds making the colors pop like I had envisioned. “Wisconsin Pure” is a dream come true; a limited edition print of only 300 viewable here.
Fall Lake Colors
After an interesting conversation with a collector of mine he suggested that I should not label where my photos are taken. It’s an interesting concept and I believe he is right. My style has never been documenting certain places it’s about capturing the scene in front of me.
This is a photograph in the fall with beautiful reflections on a lake.
