Scott Douglas is a photographer with a diverse artistic background that began in the music industry. Traveling across the world for his orchestral career profoundly influenced his current focus on wildlife and landscapes, often with a special interest in endemic species, conservation, and distinctive coastal scenes.

 

Scott has been a photographer for as long as he can remember – he was always more interested in being the person behind the camera capturing those unforgettable shots of his twin brother on their family vacations. His artistic/professional journey started by shooting live events, portraits, and architecture during his graduate studies in Chicago, and he’s excited to bring his eclectic background and passion for artistry to the Backcountry Journeys team.

 

In his free time, Scott enjoys entertaining his two Italian Greyhounds, developing new vegan recipes with his fiancé, and anything related to the arts. He regularly performs in orchestras throughout the Midwest, has served as guest principal flute of the New Orleans Opera & Louisiana Philharmonic, and as piccoloist of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra & La Crosse Symphony Orchestra. Scott has also made recordings with several distinguished record labels in Chicago and Cleveland, and he has been a featured performer on WFMT 98.7 and WCLV 104.9.
