Scott Church American Photographer
Scott Church is a world renowned, internationally published, award winning Fine Art Portrait Photographer.
Beginning his career as a US Navy photographer serving in Operation Desert Storm aboard the USS Tarawa, his more than thirty-year career working in Glamour/Portrait photography has seen many overwhelming successes and humbling experiences.
He has worked as a contributing photographer for HUSTLER Magazine (2017), PENTHOUSE Magazine (2014-2016), and Playboy Magazine (2010-2011).
His photographs have been seen and showcased on Vh1's Mob Wives, The Science Channel's "Odd Folks Home”, along with his popular web series, “ScottChurch Presents” and 2 feature length documentaries, “The Art of ScottChurch” and "ScottChurch’s DRAG”.
He has photographed Movie Stars and Television Icons, Rap legends and Superbowl Champions, but he is happiest to work with the regular everyday people that constitute the majority of his clients. He has traveled the world for those clients, photographing people on five of the seven continents and in dozens of countries.
His images have graced the covers of and been featured in XXL, Men's Health, Latin Trends, Skin & Ink, Gothic Beauty, Leg Show, Temptress, Retro Lovely, and Fine Art PHOTO Magazine, along with many others.
He has published 15 books of his photography.
Beyond simply producing work, his passion for photography has been spread to others through his numerous private and group photography classes that he has coordinated and taught. Scott has placed the seeds of creativity in the minds of students in places like Ireland, England; the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Florida, Texas, Washington, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia and many other states and cities around the world. His progeny has gone on to start successful careers of their own and many of their works could be seen for 15 years in the ScottChurch “LEGACY Gallery Show.” which has since transitioned into the "ScottChurch January Show" which features all types of creative arts. His passion and tireless efforts have created a virtual community within the photography and Fine Art world that has transcended geographic boundaries.
Through all of this he remains grounded and approachable. To this day, if you call the studio, he will most likely be the one answering the phone. Give it a try.

March Gallery Member Exhibition Themed: “Make it New Again! Recycled Materials”
Our ever-popular Gallery Member exhibition is being held this month live in house and online with the theme: “Make it New Again! Recycled Materials”. This show is reserved for gallery members at Crossroads Art Center. Become a gallery member today!
Crossroads Art Center invites artists to redefine creativity and sustainability in “Make It New Again!”, an exhibition celebrating artwork made from recycled, reclaimed, repurposed, or up-cycled materials. This show challenges artists to look at the overlooked—discarded objects, found materials, industrial scraps, vintage treasures—and transform them into something visually compelling, thought-provoking, and entirely new.
From sculpted assemblage to mixed media, collage, fiber, metal, plastics, paper, wood, and beyond, we welcome works that breathe new life into old materials. Whether your piece is made entirely from recycled elements or powerfully incorporates them as a significant component, we want to showcase how artists turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Theme Inspiration
Think resourcefulness, reinvention, environmental consciousness, and artistic innovation. Surprise us with how you take what once was—and Make It New Again.
Crossroads Art Center hosts a bi-monthly call for entries for the Juried All-Media Show with cash prize awards. Come explore the selected artworks showcasing local artists and their mastery of form, color, and medium.
