DAN SCOTT
Wonder

“Wonder” is a visual odyssey into the heart and soul of places I treasure and find inspirational.

I set out to capture the sense of wonder I feel when experiencing a place for the very first time, the excitement of the unknown, the awe of a mystical and breathtaking landscape.

Through my lens, with long exposure photography and intentional camera movement techniques, I reveal my personal connection with special places in a literal and abstract sense. I explore the landscape and natural beauty, taken by the enormity and color, to spark wonder and trigger the thrill of being in this extraordinary place. I am engaged and in the moment, thankful.

This series is my interpretation and appreciation of nature and the places that hold special meaning. “Wonder” inspires the curiosity in me and motivates me to keep exploring. What else is out there, I wonder?
