Footprints

We leave our footprints in the void because we think it is a challenge. That the more nature we take on, the more human we become. The more the wind whips us raw, the more we think we are just that. But in reality, we are the footprints. We will fade with the next snow and Mont Blanc will stand until we have built up so high we can only sneer down at her, our conquest.

Photographer

Calvin Scott

Calvin Tyler Scott (b. 1998) is a New York City based photographer. With a background as a charcoal and ink-based graphic artist, he’s embraced photography for its objectivity. Calvin is invested in the story-telling nature of photography, and its use in social provocation — concepts all incorporated in his journalism and portraiture. His work is often focused on natural light, context, and empathy.

While attending The Savannah College of Art & Design, Calvin relocated to New York City to pursue a career as a photographer. There, he has trained under Platon, Mark Seliger, and Annie Leibovitz, forging an eye for cultural realism and sculptural composition — despite his very, very poor eyesight.

In January 2019, his work was published in PDN Magazine, as a winner of PDN Faces. Later that year, his work was chosen to be permanently featured in the American Photography Archive.
