I shoot photographs of models, actors, athletes, artists, misfits, rebels, survivors, and other interesting people. I am based in Chicago, IL and my work receives international attention. If you have questions about me or collaborating with me, I’m an open book. So feel free to reach out to me and let's shoot.

I have two websites you can look at:
Scott Barnes Photography (Headshots, Portraits, Fashion and Editorial)
Vir Impudicus (Male Nude Art, Erotica)

A note about nudes: I shoot the male nude form because it irritates me that thousands of years after the Greeks were carving nude statues of Apollo and Perseus, today a male nude is quickly dismissed as pornographic. I believe that the human body is beautiful, but I don't ask or expect everyone who poses for me to shoot nudes and to make that assumption is disrespectful and inaccurate. I realize that posing nude is not for everybody and your comfort levels will always be respected.
