Those messy, scratched up, dream filled mile markers that drive us crazy and feed our soul. That’s what Scott's work is about. For seven years he worked on a personal project - Ishues. A 93 minute documentary film which looked at a talented kid who chased his dream and ended up homeless in Hollywood. It changed Scott.

Aaron Warkov has been shooting amazing images that capture the true energy of life for over 20 years. Aaron first picked up a camera at the age of 12. His father taught photography near his home at the University of Minnesota, so Aaron spent countless hours roaming the halls and darkrooms absorbing it all. He eventually was drawn to commercial photography in his early twenties. He now shoots all over the world...be it on top of a Chilean mountain, snowboarding down an avalanche zone with gear on his back, mountain biking single track in Moab, surfing in Maui or Montauk, cruising the streets of Brooklyn on his bike, or an art gallery opening... Aaron draws energy from the life and culture around him, then he brings it it back out again with his lens for the world to see... He loves showing the "truth and energy" of the subject, and bringing his knowledge of cultures to every assignment. He is kind of a"cultural anthropologist"as he likes to say. Working along side him you will see just how much he puts into his craft. Aaron and his crew will make your project flow from start to finish. If it's large or small, here or there, Aaron treats it with the same intense energy and creative output, and relishes figuring out the best approach to the clients ultimate vision.
