Scott was handed his first underwater camera at 16, though he started diving before he even hit puberty. He’s still a passionate photographer decades later, and is always pushing the edge on his photography skills. His work has won awards, notably the Palme D’or at the Antibes festival for his co-authored book Anilao in 2000. In 2016, his book Blackwater / Open Blue encompasses images taken in the open ocean both at night and during the day. This book was awarded the Underwater Book of the Year, at the Underwater Photographer of the Year competition in the UK in 2017. Scott’s latest books are Aurora (2018) and Tarlac (2022).
