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.

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.
