About Me
Scott Sewell is an award-winning landscape photographer who specializes in California Coastal, High Sierra and travel photography.
He likes rocks, waves, clouds, contrast, texture and black and white images but has been known to occasionally shoot people, buildings and in color. A former IT professional, he is an adept user of the digital darkroom and prints, mats and frames his own work using fully archival materials.
Mr. Sewell regularly exhibits at Coast Highway Artist's Collective in Point Arena, CA and at Gualala Arts, the largest art organization on the Mendocino Coast. Two of his images were selected for the Point Arena Merchants Association 2020 Brochure. His “Late Afternoon Traffic” image of Point Arena hangs behind the council dais at City Hall. His work is on sale at Point Arena Lighthouse, Matson Mercantile in Elk and at Hunewill Ranch in Bridgeport.
Two of his images, “Evening comes to the Bar” – an image of sunset over the Gualala River – and “Services Rendered” – an image of the Methodist Church in Bodie, CA – won awards at major competitions in the last year.
While his heart and art are on the Mendocino Coast and in the Sierra Nevada (where he spends at least three months most years), he lives with his wife, June, in Marina del Rey, CA.
For those of you that are interested, Mr. Sewell is a Nikon shooter (D850/D500), prints on a Canon ProGraf-1000 and uses Lightroom, Photoshop, Photo Mechanic, CorelDraw, the DxO Nik Collection and Skylum's Luminar in his work. He uses Moab Fine Art Paper (Juniper Baryta 305, Entrada Natural) for most of his printing.
As an artistic note, he uses Photoshop mostly to remove distractions and as a clean-up, formatting and printing tool. By and large, most of his photographs are as they came of out the camera, cropped and modified for color, contrast and tone. Otherwise, his images are what his eye and the camera see.
