Scott’s unique portraits of ranchers and people of the west has made him one of the few great cowboy photographers of our time. As professional and fine art photographer for over 25 years, Baxter photographed primarily with large format film and prints with care in traditional processes.
In 2012, he completed 100 Years 100 Ranchers, a ten year official Legacy Project for the Arizona Centennial. This compilation of compelling large format black-and-white photographs depicts many of Arizona’s longest-active ranchers. 100 Years 100 Ranchers, has been featured in exhibits and presentations across the state.
In a 2016 solo exhibition at Ryan Gallery, Baxter released his never before seen new work, Gathering the Remnants. Inspired by the ranching term “gathering the remnants”, Baxter pulled negatives he’d never printed from, originating from shooting for over a decade for the highly-publicized project and book of the same name, 100 Years 100 Ranchers.
You can purchase signed copies of Scott’s book, 100 Years 100 Ranchers, at the Art Intersection online store.
