Scott Bean Photography
Hello and welcome to my webpage! If you would like to know when I add new photos to my website you can sign up for my newsletter by going here.
A native
Kansan, I grew up spending time outside hunting and
fishing and from that developed my interest in nature. My passion
(addiction?) for photography grew from a desire to simply be outside. I
love to drive the back roads and explore places I've never
been before while "hunting" for the right moment to stop and
take
a photograph. Being behind the camera helps me to "be in the
moment" and to truly experience what is right in front of me.
A
side benefit of taking pictures is that I get to share what I see with
others and hopefully somebody once in awhile will like my photos enough
to pay for one...which enables me to selfishly head back out to lose
myself in the landscape again.
I shoot whenever time allows and also have been teaching photography at a community learning center in Manhattan, Kansas. Teaching allows me to help others develop their talents and makes me a much better photographer. It is a real delight to see someone else get excited about creating a photograph.
I know it is cliche, but I sincerely hope my images will inspire you to "stop and smell the roses." We are surrounded by beauty but seem to rarely take time to notice it. If we aren't careful it is going to be gone before we know it. I can be so attuned to the light and shapes, texture, and colors when I'm out photographing and feel so alive...only to be lost in the noise of our ever increasingly complex world when I return after a session of shooting. I hope you can find some time to get away from the rat race with me and enjoy these photographs.
