Scott McAulay
- Camera and Electrical Department
Though Scott has built a career photographing the famous, he's just as interested in capturing the lives of ordinary human beings.
McAulay's skill in creating compelling portraits is evident in both his commercial and personal work. He's shot the stars of television shows such as Shortland Street, The Block, The Bachelor, Filthy Rich, and Step Dave, as well as New Zealand's top news and entertainment talent. He spent two months on location in Nicaragua shooting Survivor, and while there, began his project In My Ute, documenting the hitchhikers he picked up each day. Photographs of his young son Oscar have also sent his work in a new direction.
McAulay was raised in Birkenhead, Auckland, where his father owned a pharmacy for more than 45 years. It was here that he discovered his interests in photography and people.
McAulay has indulged his childhood in one of his most recent personal projects, a portrait series of local shop owners called Birkenhead.
It's pretty tough, he says, having a shop and doing it all yourself - and this sense of equality and empathy is exactly what makes his images stand out.
