Roger Scott

BiographyRoger Scott's career in photojournalism began with work at Leicagraph Pty Ltd at the age of 16. It was here that he perfected his printing abilities. He also began taking his own photographs around this time, and completed a photographic course at Sydney Technical College, now part of UTS.

His father's commitment to the anti-war movement was a major influence on Scott, and this led to a powerful series on the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations. These encapsulated the highly-charged emotions of the times, and have become amongst the most recognised images of the period.

In the mid 1970s Scott was awarded a Visual Arts Board grant that enabled him to travel to America. He went on to establish his own business as a documentary photographer and specialist printer of black-and-white work.
