Scott Lanza has been working in advertising photography since setting up his first studio in Milwaukee in 1980, but currently finds his home in a 4000 sq. ft. studio located in rural Muskego, Wisconsin.

Having done a variety of photography across product, food and still life over the years, recently a new direction has seen Scott move into the automotive category. Projects include photographing auto interiors and accessories for Buick with Leo Burnett Detroit.

New work also includes shoe and leather accessories and most recently firearms for O.F. Mossberg and Sons with Shine United of Madison, Wisconsin.

"From curds and whey to way cool sneakers, there's no end to what Scott Lanza has seen and photographed.

Fish inside a guitar? Yes. Five hundred pound cheese wheel? Yep. Tattooed chefs? He's done that, too! From people, real or talent, to food, to products and vehicles, and everything in between. Part artist, part scientist, part inventor - Scott has a knack for creating dynamic images that span a variety of subjects.

On a typical day, Scott can be found buzzing around his 3,800 square foot studio, located in the rural countryside of Muskego, Wisconsin, a hop, skip, and a jump from major city attractions in downtown Milwaukee. And when he's not behind the camera he'll be in front of the computer (with a little help from his cats) retouching images, a service he provides his clientele.

An abridged list of clients includes Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, In-Sink-Erator, Pyrex Products, JI Case, A&W, Merillat Windows, Wahl Products, Rubbermaid, Yamaha, Mizuno, Blue Bunny, Cousins Subs, Finch Beer, Sara Lee and Manpower.

Scott Lanza started his business in 1980 photographing products and still life; his first major food project was 'The Gatherings Cook Book', a collection of recipes submitted by Junior League members, produced in 1987.

Since then he has been photographing food, almost exclusively, for both advertising agencies and clients directly. Scott’s studio is located in the state of Wisconsin where 85 to 90 percent of the milk produced goes into cheese making. It’s hardly a coincidence that he has taken a special interest in photographing cheese!

Close to the Chicago market, Scott has access to some of the best food stylists in the business, many of which he works with quite frequently. All post-shooting services are preformed in-house, providing Scott’s clientele with high quality images ready for reproduction. His 4000 square foot studio, located in a quiet rural setting, has a well-equipped kitchen ready to facilitate all food related productions.

In addition, Scott has photographed the food featured on the wildly popular websites Grilled Cheese Academy and The Cheese & Burger Society.
