Jamie Scott is a British visual artist and photographer who specializes in special effects and time-lapse photography. With over 20 years of experience, he combines a background in media production and 3D animation from Bournemouth University in England with a career marked by technical innovation and artistic sensibility. He began his career at The Mill post-production studio in London, then moved on to Mass Market/Psyop in New York. His work explores the fleeting beauty of time, transforming natural phenomena into contemplative visual experiences where nature becomes a moving canvas and viewers discover intriguing shapes and patterns. Through meticulous compositions and the play of light, he seeks to reveal the invisible, capturing unique moments in a poetic work about life, death, and fragility. He continues to push the boundaries between the real and the digital, while incorporating technologies such as blockchain to preserve the impermanence of his works. His projects, often born of personal passions, invite viewers to slow down, immerse themselves, and rediscover a childlike sense of wonder.
Known for his approach that blends technical expertise with a dreamlike quality, Jamie Scott has projected his creations in Times Square (Midnight Moments, 2018) and worked for brands such as Chanel, Dell, Spotify, and Florence and the Machine. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with renowned directors such as Frank Budgen and Michel Gondry, winning awards for projects like Nike Human Chain and Audi Synchronized. After working at Method Studios (Los Angeles), he began a freelance career with studios such as Framestore and MPC.

Full Star Anemones are a fairly new hybrid anemone that feature a double layer of petals. They have a ton of personality and flutter away as they open. Here, Jamie Scott shoots them in Macro with a tone on tone background.
Combined with a musical score by composer Jim Perkins, Full Star Anemone 07 provides a moment of calm and reflection upon life, death, beauty, and the passing of time. The number in the title of the work reflects the number of times the video had to be shot in order to achieve the perfect composition - a commentary on the fickleness and unpredictability of nature in and of itself, and how, in contrast, it can be concretised and frozen in time through blockchain technology.
