Landscape photography, metal prints, canvas wall art and greeting cards
Scott Seiler never leaves the house without his camera.
Photographer Scott Seiler’s perspective has been shaped by his love of rural architecture. Although not immune to the simple attractions of our horizontal vistas, his landscapes are most often populated with blooming fields or farmsteads that dot the prairie. These poignant, physical reminders of a past rural lifestyle speak to us of lives lived trying to tame the land and survive the weather. Seiler positions his camera to best give a sense of depth and distance. His photographs draw us in with parallel lines. He uses what’s in front of him, perhaps the parallel lines of a barn roof or those of a barb wired fence, to lead the viewer’s eye toward the vanishing point, helping to underscore the vastness of the landscape.
Seiler’s dual interests in landscape and architecture stem from a childhood on the rugged, unspoiled prairie of western North Dakota. As a child, he roamed his family’s ranch, learning to appreciate the beauty of the prairie and the importance of quiet observation. He is a life-long resident of North Dakota and currently resides in Fargo.
