Scott Edward Hayes

Scott Edward Hayes is a first year student at Brooks Institute. He is studying full-time in the professional photography program. As of right now, his main focus is on school but has recently started working with Amelia Jane shooting for her kids’ clothing line in Summerland, California. As a kid, Scott has been artistic but his passion for photography grew his sophomore year of High School.

Fashion photography is Scott’s specialty because he loves working with people and he’s just fascinated with the way the clothing falls on people, which can make for an interesting look. Scott loves what he does and he is glad that he found a school that has the ability to teach him everything he needs to know to make a career out of it. Being a student at Brooks Institute, Scott has learned that one needs to be self-motivated in order to get ahead in school and in life. Simply put, “If you want to pass, you’ll do the work”.

One misconception that Scott believes fashion photography has is that a lot of people think it’s irrelevant to both photography and life. The fact that someone designed a piece of clothing and that piece of clothing starts trends and leads to bigger things is what fascinates him. No matter what others may think, fashion is relevant and important to Scott and a lot of other people. One piece of advice that Scott would give to those who want to do photography as a profession is to do your research. Looking for the right photography school is important and when you accomplish that, put all your effort into excelling in your work.
