Scott Mann - Having worked as a model and photo assistant for hometown
friend and now New York based photographer Steve Vaccariello, Scott
developed an interest to be behind the lens. It was Vaccariello who actually
gave Scott his first camera. Scott has been shooting a variety of media over
the years. His most recent interest is 'digital painting' on his images,
which has created his latest works. 
Mann's digital works begin with an ordinary image which he "morphs" into an
abstract work. The digital painting process first begins with one of his own
original photos. A working 'wet' palette is then created from the selected
photo. By using a mouse or pen palette, he uses a variety of brushes,
styles, textures and techniques to create his abstract image.
