Piece description from the artist
Captured in the temperate rainforest of Mount Rainer National Park, this piece bares the older name for the Park’s peak, “Tacoma,” meaning “snow-covered mountain,” a reference to the declining, but still omnipresent glacier at its peak.
Here, beneath the high flanks of the tallest of the Cascades, mist and moss rule the understory. The sun cuts through the canopy in quiet shafts, turning the forest into a cathedral of green and gold.
Although a rainforest, it’s not a place of humid sticky heat, but a cool loamy landscape. Ferns sleep in the shadow. Rain forever drips from the branches. Everywhere feels untouched by time.
Currently located in Washington, DC, Scott is a native Floridian photographer specializing in landscape photography. His work explores the interplay of light and dark — rejecting the notion that photography is just “painting with light.” He seeks what resides in the contrast — the liminal spaces of the world.
Scott has shot in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, including Iceland and locations throughout the Old World. But some of his most inspiring locations are right at home in America's enchanting National Parks.
