The Border Artists 
Scott Weaver has been a commercial and fine art photographer since 1993, but his interest in the arts began coloring his life from an early age. Showing a strong interest in music which became the focus of his life during his teen years, and continuing with studies at the College of Fine Arts Dept. of Music at the University of New Mexico.
It was during this time that Scott became interested in photography. Other needs and interests intervened for a number of years, but in 1987 he began creating still-life setups, which he would photograph in a studio situation.
Continuing to acquire greater knowledge of studio lighting, he soon began exploring the human body as an artistic subject. This culminated with a one-person show of the first two years of his work photographing the nude, entitled "Inside-Out", in 1994, hosted by The Heart Gallery in Las Cruces, NM. The artist statement that accompanied this show includes the following quote: "I do not seek to create the perfect 'shot' because I do not believe it exists. This work is a process which can not be completed, and only reveals itself through the execution and working out of the possibilities and questions posed by the body itself."
This idea of ‘process’ has proved itself to be a fundamental aspect of Scott’s fine-art projects. Often, one idea or photographic subject proves itself to be just the beginning of an unfolding exploration.
Recent photographic projects include his continuing “Desert Objects Series”, which focuses on found objects. This is the artist’s statement that accompanied the first presentation of these images: “The Desert Objects series portrays found objects, both natural and man-made, exhibiting the effects of time and the desert environment. They are photographed in the studio in a minimalist style, forgoing sophisticated lighting and setups. Gazing upon each object through a camera's lens, initial assumptions about their meaning and significance are questioned. The photographer must remain open to discovery, and never come to believe that he has 'captured' the reality of what he photographs.”
