New on the site: Fine Art For Businesses

I’ve been placing my work in hotels, restaurants, offices, and hospitality venues for years. Exhibitions, direct acquisitions, full installations from first conversation through to hanging day. That side of the practice has grown steadily, and the Fine Art for Businesses page is where it now lives properly.

A New Instagram Account, Built Around the Art

Scott Allen Wilson Shop

For years, my primary Instagram account at @scottallenwilson has been built around the trips themselves -sequential series from each city, the insights and anecdotes behind specific shots, the b-roll, the stories that frame why a particular image exists. It’s a working travel photographer’s feed. Photograflâneur in practice. That account is not going anywhere, and the way it tells stories is not changing.

The pandemic is still ongoing unfortunately, but I think almost all of us can agree that 2020 and 2021 were especially tough years. Last year I made a world of progress with my recovered energy, and I was able to also find the motivation to get back on track with a variety of projects.

From Solid Wood Frames to Giclée prints: Quality that you’ll love for years.

It’s every photographer’s dream to have their photos become finished works of art. To know that something you’ve made is up on someone’s wall, in a book, or in a gallery – it’s an extraordinary feeling of accomplishment.
