ABOUT
Scott Ippolito has been a working filmmaker and cinematographer for over thirty years. He has shot commercials for brands you've heard of, promos for shows you may have watched, documentaries about places he's grateful he got to visit, and portraits of people far more famous than he'll ever be.
His work has taken him from soundstages in Los Angeles to remote villages in Nepal. He's lit actors, athletes, musicians, CEOs, and one lion in Tanzania who had no interest in being properly photographed.
He has created portraits of Grammy, Oscar, Emmy, and NBA All-Star recipients.
He's based in Atlanta and shoots globally, lions optional.
