“If it weren’t for Olympus and the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, I would have had to cut my
photographic career short. Now I am confident that I can work as long as I feel like
it; knowing this smaller, lighter gear is capable of producing publication-worthy
images, even with an old guy like me at the helm.”
Scott was one of the first photographers ever to receive the designation Apple
Certified Professional Trainer (T3) for Apple’s Aperture. He also previously held the
designation Certified Adobe Photoshop Instructor and Professional Photographers of
America’s Certified Professional Photographer designation.
