A Little Bit About Me

Hi, my name is Malcolm Scott Reinhard, but all those who know me call me Scott. I am MR Photography, but MR Photography is not about me or photography, it is about you. Photography is just my way of focusing others on the real beauty that makes you, or the ones you hold precious, shine. My real passion in life is people, and making them feel good about themselves, so my time is best used 'capturing moments, and creating memories' that will bring joy for generations.

Although I have studied photography and visual arts at a tertiary level my photographic knowledge and skills have been predominantly self-taught. My passion for photography was kindled at an early age, getting a lot more serious when my son was born in 1996. Since then I have spent copious hours reading all I could absorb and practicing those skills, collecting quite a library of resources and images. My areas of interest have always been with people, landscapes and the micro world and I have spent the last 15 years developing those skills.

I started my photographic journey with a Pentax K1000 and later moved to a Nikon F3 shooting slides and B&W film, learning my editing skills the old fashioned way, in the dark. Since then I have moved into the digital age and currently use a Nikon D700 as my preferred body and a growing selection of Nikon's finest glass. The one thing I appreciate most about this transition is the digital darkroom's lack of chemical odour. I have spent the majority of my life in the Manning and Great Lakes areas and currently live on a little patch of paradise with my awesome wife and three wonderful teenage kids just outside of Wingham NSW.
