Behind the Scenes with Jonathan and Angela Scott

Which photographer(s) inspired you? And why?

We love the work of Vincent Munier for its artistry. Vincent immerses himself completely in the outdoors. He loves snow and ice and creates sublime images that are always different, embodying artistic flair with a minimalistic approach. Angela loves black and white photography and our two books Sacred Nature: Life’s Eternal Dance (HPH, 2016) and Sacred Nature 2: Reconnecting People to Our Planet (HPH, 2021) showcase some of her stunning black and white images.

Which lenses do you use for your work?

Is there a shot you really wish you had taken but missed your chance?

Your work is focused on African wildlife –what inspires and fascinates you about those animals?

To what extent can you plan a wildlife shoot? Do you have a certain goal in mind before you head out with your camera?

Photography is all about planning. That is the best way to step up. You have to be disciplined, something Angela is very good at. There is no excuse for being unprepared. The internet is full of detailed advice on destinations and the changing seasons,the best places to see particular species.
