The natural beauty of an incredible sunrise or sunset, the cool crispness of an early morning as the relatively warm water steams from a lake, or the brilliant colors of the changing seasons.

These are just a few of the moments-in-time South Dakota photographer Scott Korsten finds worth visually preserving. The photos he creates help re-experience shared moments with friends and family; they also engage others who appreciate seeing unique visual pleasures they've missed.

When he isn't indulging his passion for making photographs, Scott spends his days at SamCreative a boutique marketing firm focused on servicing small businesses. Prior to that, Scott was a founding partner and director of marketing for Showplace Cabinetry, a nationally recognized kitchen and bath cabinet manufacturer.

He also regularly volunteers his "time behind the lens" to local non-profit organizations such as Children's Home Society of South Dakota and South Dakota Salutes.
