Scott Hartwick

Scott Hartwick , a Connecticut native and founder of FEZon Photography, began his photography career at age 12. His uncle, a newspaper photographer, began to teach him the fundamental skills and rules of photography including exposure, composition, and darkroom procedure. All through the seventies and eighties Scott refined his photography skills at many a rock concert with his trusty 35mm and his whit's about him.

After taking time off to raise a family Scott rekindled his passion for photography with the purchase of his first DSLR in the early 2000's welcoming the age of the digital darkroom. Over the years Scott's love of the art of photography has evolved beyond the confines of the concert halls of the east coast and has branched out into many different fields of focus including portraiture, fashion, headshots, product photography and fine art still life.

The Fotopro X-Go Max Photo Tripod

By Leave a Comment

Tripods, some love them, others not so much. From my experience, the ones who don't or won't use a tripod do so because of a few things. They say "it's too heavy" or "it's too big to travel with or carry in or on a backpack". Others say that the cost of a tripod and a ball head is too high especially when they are sold separately. Others want a tripod that folds down small but … [Read more...] about The Fotopro X-Go Max Photo Tripod
