Featured Guest & Resources
Scott Wyden Kivowitz is a father, photographer, blogger, and educator in New Jersey, who considers himself a storyteller with a camera. Growing up he was always photographed by his parents and his grandparents. While playing in bands and touring, he started photographing the other bands that played at the same events. So that paved way for him to always have a camera with him. Scott decided years ago to document the lives of others, so they can be enjoyed and cherished forever. The inspiration behind that was because of his biological father’s passing before his second birthday. The only ways he can get to know his father is by photographs and the stories told from family. Scott offers family portraits, cake smash sessions, headshots and brand photography to his clients.
Scott is also the Chief Community Officer at Imagely, a WordPress development company that makes incredible tools for photography websites. He is a podcast host as well, the author of numerous books, and a regular YouTuber. He can be found teaching photographers about photography, WordPress and online marketing on his website, the Imagely website, and other venues like Photofocus.
Scott believes in sharing his knowledge in any way possible and educating without fluff, in a straight to the point easy to understand style.
