Crafting Portraits with Heart and Heritage

Richard A. Scott has been immersed in photography for more than 40 years, beginning as a young enthusiast developing film in a home darkroom and evolving into a professional whose work blends timeless artistry with a modern, editorial eye. After decades of refining his craft—ranging from fine-art landscapes to sophisticated lifestyle portraits—Richard now focuses exclusively on bespoke portraiture, family sessions, and lifestyle storytelling.

In addition to Richard A. Scott Photography, he is the founder and creative force behind Midnight Noon Studio, a fine-art brand known for dramatic landscapes and limited-edition prints collected by art lovers around the world. This dual practice informs his portrait work with the same artistic precision, distinctive lighting, and museum-quality presentation that define his fine-art collections.

Based in Wilmington, North Carolina, Richard approaches every commission as a thoughtful collaboration. From the first consultation to handcrafted heirloom albums and gallery-grade prints, he ensures that every image captures authentic connection and becomes part of a family’s lasting legacy.
