Scott Sansenbach

I have been a wildlife and landscape photographer for 3 decades. My specialty has been marine wildlife, focusing on whales, sharks, and dolphins and various marine ecosystems around the world. I have published dozens of articles in domestic and regional dive magazines, newspapers, calendars etc. My wildlife photos have been purchased by many corporate clients.

I am interested in glamour, figure studies, fashion, swimsuit, editorial and fine art photos.

Surfing, action sports and beach lifestyle photography has become a major focus lately. If you surf, bodyboard, skimboard, skateboard, or participate in any other action sports I would love to collaborate. I am also seeking models who want to do artistic and abstract photos both in pools and the ocean.

I would like to use this site to meet local models (male and female), MUA's and stylists to collaborate with on a variety of projects.

I am especially interested in ongoing collaborations in the genre of underwater nudes and glamor. Projects will include shoots in the ocean. I have a boat to facilitate ocean shoots and could use some help gaining access to swimming pools to shoot in.

I would like to build a very diverse portfolio. I'm open to new ideas and different concepts. I am interested in working with both female and male models. I especially enjoy working with couples. Race and other specific criteria are not important to me. If you have a great look and a better attitude I probably want to work with you. I treat everyone with respect and put 100% effort into making great images that we can all be proud of. I expect good communication and I will not flake. I appreciate the same courtesy in return.

I credit all parties involved in my shoots. Please feel free to contact these models to see what their experience was like.

Check out the link to my Flickr site above to see a greater variety of my work.

I am a Nikon shooter with an extensive collection of lenses. Currently, I have several D90 bodies and my trusty D-300.

I admire the work of Bruce Weber, Ed Weston, Ansel Adams, David Doubilet, Howard Hall and Herb Ritts.

RE: Friend requests - I appreciate all that I receive, but I'm going to start limiting them to people that I have worked with, want to work with, or expect to collaborate in some way. Drive by requests will be denied.
