The photographer · Scott Smallie
Thirty years behind the lens. One engineer’s eye.
Photography has been part of Scott Smallie’s life for more than thirty years. Moving from film to digital was a natural transition for a computer engineer — and it is the blend of both worlds that defines Crafted Pixel Studios.
Scott’s favorite subject is people. Every session is built around creating images with depth and emotion: portraits that say something, fashion that feels cinematic, and experimental work like fiber-optic light painting that you will not find anywhere else.
