Scott Edwards - EFG Image

ston after 12 fantastic years on Chicago's Northshore, Scott primarily shoots in the Great Lakes and Gulf Coast regions. His mission: Create photos and stories that celebrate people, causes, moments, nature and life at large. His background includes leading marketing communications for the North American division of the world's largest water and environmental services business. "After 29 years in agency and corporate communications, including hiring and working with lots of photographers, videographers, designers, artists, communications consultants, and, oh yes, business people, entrepreneurs, executives, NGOs, scientists, operations experts, environmentalists and many others (yes, even lawyers!), I decided that life was too short not to do what I longed to do. "I had been shooting photography since after college, was always told I had 'the artist's eye' and had heard more than once that I should stop hiring photographers and instead be one! I got really serious about that three years ago and here I am," Scott notes. When people look at my stuff or read my words, I want them to long for life, beauty and, yes even God. I want them to know that it’s never too late to act. Never too late to enjoy life or reach out, take action, pick up the phone (oh, sure, text too!), smile, forgive, bend, learn, live, love, change and… you fill in the blanks." Scott was born on the bayou in the wonderful town of Lake Charles, Louisiana. He lived in Louisiana and Texas for much of his life, moved to Chicago 10 years ago and has never looked back. "I’m a city/country guy who loves the four seasons and thinks that people look fantastic in each season. Yep, Gulf Coast/Great Lakes life!"

Scott encourages your call or message. "I’m happy to visit and brainstorm. Whether it’s delivering a dynamic portrait or generating an idea that moves you or your organization forward, I’d love to talk."
