Former team photographer for the Tampa Bay Lightning for the last 22 seasons, Scott Audette is a world-renowned photographer, selected to capture the 2010 Olympics hockey finals, feted as a veteran team photographer and sought after as a mentor. Scott was fortunate to document the Lightning’s climb to Stanley Cup champions in 2004, 2020 & 2021. His unprecedented behind-the-scenes photos of players in 2004 were turned into a one-person show at the Tampa Museum of Art. His 2004 photos also illustrate the pages of “Tampa Bay Lightning: Winning Ways - The Making of a Championship Heart” (Yorkville Press). Scott also served as the house photographer for the Amalie Arena and Yuengling Center.

 

Scott spent much of his professional life as a freelancer for wire agencies, first with The Associated Press from 1996 to 2006 and currently for Reuters. He enjoys documenting travel and adventure, most recently for Visit Florida.

 

Scott makes his home in Lakeland with his wife, two sons and menagerie of animals.
