My passion grew as I studied at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I received my degree in Theatre Arts with an emphasis in Lighting Design.
My eye is attracted to details others might dismiss: the texture of a rose petal, the contrast of highlight and shadow, the detailed work of an older building or the visual compositions found all around us.
The images found in my portfolio represent over thirty years of ongoing work. I am always seeking out new photographs waiting to be captured, and plan to continue to add to my collection. Go to the "Recent Additions" gallery to see my latest images.
I continue to dedicate this ongoing project to my wife, Nilda, my inspiration. It was she who, after several years, finally convinced me to offer my work to the public, and has stood by me from the beginning. My successes are hers, the failures are mine.—Scott Mahrer
