Welcome
Welcome to my little slice of the Internet. I’m truly honored you stopped by. I am a Freelance Photographer and a Content Manager based out of Auburn, Alabama. I create custom photography services to writing online content to managing social media accounts. If you are interested in my freelance work as a photographer or writer, please contact me to start the conversation.
About My Website
My site is focused on Exploring Photography Through Photo Essays. I create original content around collections of images and post several times a month. I do also write around topics on faith, life, technology, sailing, sports, gardening, or whatever is happening in life at that time. My Blog was started in 2004 and has a lot of history, my Journal is a collection of pages on many different topics, and my Portfolios are photographic collections of work going back almost 30 years now.
About My Photography
My personal photography concentrates on creating high quality images with whatever gear I’m currently using. I’ve been shooting more than 30 years now and if you are reading this in 2024, I’ve tried to narrow my focus in photography quite a bit to bring more value to my clients while also shooting things I’m passionate about creating like Street Photography and Travel Photography. You can read more about my photographic journey or see my photography services I offer.
To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.
~Henri Cartier-Bresson
If you want to just flip through some of my current photography then start over on my blog. My blog now has decades of material and it’s still updated frequently.
About Me
I have lived all over the country, with most of my roots in Alabama, and I call the Auburn/Opelika area home. Over the years I’ve loved my time living in California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, and various other places, but Auburn will always be home to me. I’ve had the privilege of traveling all over the world from Australia to Uganda and everywhere in between. This has given me a unique perspective on different cultures and ways of life I could never have understood without having gone there, and it’s impacted my life and thinking tremendously.
My passions in life that surrounds me daily, that push me forward is, my love for the Lord , my family, and then my personal connection with photography and all the nuances contained in that art form.
Personal Statement
In this post-911-post-covid world things can feel quite overwhelming at times. I recognize most people are doing the best they can, and we don’t all have to agree on everything all the time, and I’m ok with that. I respect everyone equally to the very best of my abilities no matter who they are or what they say. I hope you will afford me the same respect as I do you.
I look forward to connecting with you. If you have a blog or website I would love to take a look at it, please leave a comment below with your website address so we can all check it out!

Hi Scott,
Thanks for liking my post about Rob Bell over at my blog. I hope you’ll keep reading the series. I like the look of your blog (clean and colorful- via your photos). Like you, I’m also a seminary student (part-time). I have strong interests in music and writing and want to do more with this. I also like to take advantage of all the cool things techies like yourself come up.
Best wishes to you on all your endeavors, and blessings in Christ,
Alex

I came across your blog looking up pictures of Jordan Hare and am so impressed with your photography. I am looking for some Auburn photos (converted to black and white) that I could turn into posters for my son’s room. I am wondering if I could purchase a few of your photos to do this. Please email me below. Really, really impressive work you have!!
Lisa, sorry, just saw your comment, send me an email over to scott.fillmer@gmail.com and I will give you some suggestions. I have a black and white of Jordan-Hare after a game in poster size on my own wall, one of my favorite shots 🙂
