Hello, I’m Scott Shedeck, I’m photographer based in Asheville, North Carolina.

I use photography as a way to simplify and bring order to a world that I find overwhelming and chaotic. 

In Robert Ornstein’s Psychology of Consciousness he notes that we have to simplify the world to survive. Otherwise the world would overwhelm or sensory systems. It is the artist within us that allows us a closer look at the patterns and textures around us. 

My brain doesn’t turn off and is constantly looking for these patterns and textures. Photography helps me process these patterns and provides a unique challenge in making interesting images from them. The result is the portfolio I’m sharing with you. 

At the moment my portfolio is an incongruous collection of images I’ve created over the last 20 or so years. I am working on creating more physical work such as zines and books. In the very near future, a print shop will be available with some of my favorite images.
