About Scott S. Smith: With over 20 years as a professional photographer, Scott has a long story, so we will try to sum it up quickly. While obtaining a degree in photographic technology from the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies, Smith earned the prestigious Kodak Grant for Documentary Photography, landing his work in the permanent collection at the renowned Southeast Museum of Photography. He then worked as a studio photographer, master darkroom printer, and freelance photographer.
Scott’s attraction to a well-designed layout, shape, form, and composition led him to earn his degree in graphic design from Flagler College, where he later returned to teach. As a faculty professor at Flagler College, Smith taught studio photography practices and techniques to young designers and photographers. Scott's experience as Art Director at Zag Advertising and freelance designer for some of the top agencies in the southeast was vital to his success as a commercial photographer.
After working as an art director and designer Smith launched Scott S. Smith Photographic, LLC and has enjoyed working on photographic projects with numerous clients ever since. His work has taken him on assignments across the US and abroad, and he enjoys various photography disciplines, including editorial assignments, events, architecture, interior design projects, and portraiture.
From 2015 to 2020 Scott was a founding partner in Monarch Studio in St. Augustine, Florida. in 2021 he made the decision to hand off the reins of the studio to his former partner Zach Thomas (a fantastic wedding photographer and friend) and focus his energy to creating visual solutions for businesses in the Southeast.
In 2021 the name of Scott S. Smith Photographic, LLC changed to SSS Studio. The mission statement of SSS Studio is simple: To provide world-class visual solutions for business.
In 2022 Scott took the exciting leap to expand his studio and open a second operation to serve the greater Asheville, NC area in addition to his existing Northeast Florida studio. Now Scott will split his time between clients in the Blue Ridge and the First Coast.
