Ovation TV

Former photojournalist now involved in digital creation of extreme, unusual, unique, and expressive art pieces. Shot in a small studio or among the great unwashed, these creations are meant to be shocking, reflective or introspective...yet what you see may be completely different than what someone else imagines. Pushing limits, boundaries and sometimes taste, Scott Palmer never fails to deliver unusual, haunting, erotic or indescribable water-cooler conversation pieces.

Artist Statement
Understand John Ruskin with a camera and an even more colorful mind and you'll have an idea of my life's path and purpose.
