BIG NEWS! I will be one of the featured artists in the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh's 112th Annual Exhibition: Near Here, running this fall in western Pennsylvania! Visit www.aapgh.org/112 for more information, and check out the featured photo on my Street Photography page.

Hello, I'm Scott Lanway! I'm based in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh, and I specialize in four genres of photography.

WHO I AM

I've been a writer since I had the strength to grip a crayon, a storyteller since shortly after that, and a photographer since my dad showed me how to work his Olympus OM-2. Since 2018, I've spent countless nights exploring the greater Los Angeles area—and now the Pittsburgh metro as well—as a street shooter, and I enjoy bringing that in-the-moment candidness and documentary style to events, portraits, and couples sessions.

Every photograph tells a story. I would be honored to help you tell yours. Please read my rules of the road, then fill out my contact form and let's get shooting!

WHAT I SHOOT

Street Photography

Slices of life around the world

Capturing the essence of who you are…or want to be

Event Photography

For the biggest days of your life

City and Landscapes

ART FOR A WORTHY CAUSE

I'm making and selling a limited run of prints of these 3 photos (up to 100 of each) and donating 50 percent of the profits to World Central Kitchen, for their efforts to feed my fellow Angelenos impacted by the horrific January wildfires. Sizes and prices are 12x18 inches for $175 or 16x24 inches for $250, plus shipping or gas money for personal delivery in Southern California. Want to buy one? Contact me with your selections. All prints will be made here in Los Angeles, hand-numbered and signed by me. Thank you for supporting independent artists and a city that loves them!
