Scott Antcliffe

After graduating from Sheffield Hallam in 2016 with a PGCE in Primary Education, Scott has since pursued a career in education as a primary school teacher. He was nominated as NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher) of The Year at the SSELP Awards in 2016. 

Photography has always been something that has interested Scott. When his mum passed away in 2016, he decided to spend some of his inheritance money on a second-hand camera.

In October 2022, Scott officially launched SA Photography and hasn’t looked back since. He has photographed food for Mark Aisthorpe, a chef who appeared on the Great British Menu, the Sheffield Steelers ice hockey team, and has worked with well-known clients through Hallam Freelancers including Westfield Health and Sheffield Hallam University. 

Scott predominantly photographs weddings and live music events, shooting the likes of Madness, Bryan Adams, Kasabian, Tom Grennan, Pulp, and Sam Fender. As a result of his photography work, Scott has written music reviews and interviews for the Yorkshire Post and Sheffield Star newspapers. 

On the wedding front, Scott has photographed 26 weddings so far in 2023. He has built a great rapport with local venues and has been included on many recommended suppliers lists for the venues themselves. He does all this alongside teaching part-time as a Special Needs Teacher for Derbyshire County Council.

Wildlife and landscape photography are Scott’s greatest passions. In February 2023, Scott was named Wanderlust Magazine’s Travel Photographer of The Year, winning over 8000 other entries. From this, he will get to work with the Singapore and Malawi tourism boards.  

Scott has had his photography work featured in the likes of the Times, Telegraph, Metro, New York Times, Derbyshire Life, and Digital Camera Magazine. 

Scott would love to combine both passions of teaching and photography by delivering photography workshops in both primary and secondary schools, targeting the most deprived areas of Sheffield and then expanding. Scott hopes to inspire the next generation to pick up a camera instead of a console or iPad, head outside, and immerse themselves in nature whilst creating and capturing special memories in the process.
