About Us

Scot Zimmerman Photography

Scot Zimmerman is a widely published commercial photographer with over 30 years experience. He specializes in location photography: architecture, interiors, resort, travel, landscape, industrial, and historical. His photos are noted for capturing the spirit of the buildings and the life of the moment.

His client base includes architects, interior designers, advertising agencies, book publishers, periodicals, resorts, engineering companies, developers, corporations and government. During his career, he has had opportunities to work with some of today’s most innovative designers and to document important historical projects. He has offices in Utah and California, and he works across the United States.

He works closely with his wife, Ann Zimmerman, who frequently styles the photos and writes articles and books featuring his photographs.
