Scott Dorman, who graduated with honors from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1992 with a degree in communication arts and design, is the driving force behind Smalldog Imageworks. After working for a few years as a graphic designer, he shifted gears to become a photo retoucher. In 2005, Smalldog Imageworks was founded, and Scott quickly developed relationships with photographers David Stuart, Randal Ford, Erik Almas, Rod McLean, Moshe Brakha, Steve Bonini, Kate Turning, Blair Bunting, Pete Barrett, and Andy Mahr. He has placed multiple times in Communication Arts Photography Annuals, and Luerzer’s Archive named him among the 200 Best Digital Artists Worldwide.
