About Scott Perry
Scott is a photographic artist and educator, working across documentary, experimental, and alternative practices. His work explores how photography is received by audiences, whether in galleries or through photobooks, with a current focus on creating narratives through street and documentary photography.
Scott’s approach foregrounds process. He works with photography both as a physical material and through digital practice, with the creation of unique objects and prints a central concern. Interpreting photography as ‘drawing with light,’ his practice extends beyond fixed images on the wall to include light in space, drawing viewers into the photographic experience and emphasising light’s role in image-making.
Scott has delivered workshops and worked for institutions including the University of the Arts London, University Centre Peterborough, and City Lit. He is completing a PhD at the University of Westminster, researching the relationship between photography and events. This ongoing work continues to shape his practice and to question how we communicate through photography.
