Revealed
by Scott Indermaur
Upon examining my relationship with my own spirituality, I wanted to learn how other people connect with their sense of self. My intentions were to photograph spirituality from a non-literal perspective. I wanted to peel back the layers of traditional spirituality and focus on the individual’s personal essence.
I presented my subjects with a small wooden box and asked them in advance of the photography session to bring items that represented their spiritual experience in which to fill the space. The concept of identity and the awareness of a higher existence quickly evolved into a vessel of self-exploration and quiet confession. I soon discovered that my subjects shared far more … the works I am selecting illustrate my subjects’ responses to the project, as well as the inadvertent disclosures of their most subtle hopes and fears.
What I find to be most interesting is the profound effect this project has had on so many of my subjects. Given the opportunity to look within, many experienced a journey that took them much deeper than their initial inner self-examination, which revealed undiscovered truths about themselves. I asked my subjects to reflect upon their responses through essays, which accompany their portraits.

Smart!
This is very thought provoking, I appreciate the depth of humanity in this story. It opens me up to realize that I have taken many things for granted. After reading this I am profoundly grateful for my family. Thank you both,
for the great photograph and for sharing the story. I am committed to taking my own spirituality into a more meaningful direction.
What a beautifully photographed and moving series.
Excellent work! Very profound concept.
Scott’s photos are more than photos. They’re simply amazing!
Love it!
Scott captures a subtle consistency in his images while whirling ones imagination off in an interstellar flight with his mastery of composition and photgraphic artistry.
An amazing project…you are truly able to connect with your subjects and bring out the essence of who they truly are. That is a rare gift.
Bravo!
Scott is amazing at capturing the essence of each individual. Wow, he takes my breath away with some of the photos and I am constantly going back! Great work.
What an amazing opportunity to express authenticity and love.
Wonderful. Moving. Deep.
These are intimate, soul-baring and incredibly authentic. The best of the artist and subject come through. Very powerful.
Captivating, intimate, revealing, transformative. Thank you for sharing your amazing work!
Your powers of observation are beyond astute….your expression of what you see is the foundation of another language….extra-ordinary!!
I am very moved by these images and your unique ability to capture another person’s passion and soul in a single shot. Rare and Precious.
Cleverly brilliant!
Cleverly brilliant seconded. My spirit moves and my soul deepens in contemplating what emerges next through me and humanity, in witnessing the generosity of spirituality revealed.
lovely work!, Thanks
spirituality without rhetoric. Simply profound
I dont see anything spiritual about this. Looks like bad commercial photography with nicole and dime text to support it.
Sorry… no sale
Stunningly deep and profoundly moving, this view of our inner selves, our real being. What a wonderful concept and strong and beautiful execution. Bravo!
