Photographer/Director Scott Gilbert is hitting his stride, with extraordinary energy that has propelled him over the last 10 years into large-scale, award-winning automotive still shoots, and recently, commercials and promotional films.

Increasingly sought out for his ability to photograph people interacting with their cars, he fuses technically stunning automotive photography with a natural, human element that keeps audiences engaged. This fusion - along with portraiture and “people” without their cars - is the result of pushing the boundaries and an innate talent.

His first assignment was for Jeep in 2004 and Scott has since worked at bringing something extra to imagery, striving to introduce a visceral connection for the viewer. His studio training, along with the extensive experience on location has provided the technical tools to shoot “big shiny objects.”

But it’s the experience shooting editorial work that has given him his “voice” in combining a passion for photographing cars with narratives via people. In the process, his advertising work has developed an added layer of editorial energy.
