Our Story: Beyond the Fairway
The Passion for the Course, The Precision of the Lens
Hello! I'm Scotty Herod, the founder and photographer at Links Through a Lens.
This business wasn't started merely to take photos; it was born from a deep, lifelong passion for the game of golf and the profound beauty of the courses themselves. A great golf course is more than just turf and tees—it’s a carefully crafted landscape, a test of skill, and a sanctuary.
I understand that a course manager isn't just selling tee times; they're selling an experience. My mission is to capture that experience, transforming sprawling greens and dramatic bunkers into the compelling visual assets your resort or club needs to attract the next wave of members and guests.
Understanding the Game
At Links Through a Lens, We don't just point a camera. We approach every assignment with the eye of a golfer and the expertise of a media professional.
• We Know The Light: We prioritize the "Golden Hour" (sunrise and sunset) and the "Magic Hour" (twilight) to ensure every blade of grass, bunker contour, and water feature is captured with maximum drama and depth.
• We See The Lines: We understand the critical difference between a beautiful photo and a marketable photo. We focus on showcasing the architect's design, the maintenance team's perfection, and the signature holes that define your course.
• We Embrace Elevation: Leveraging drone technology, we capture the strategic flow of the holes and the spectacular scale of your property—views that are impossible to get from the ground.
Our Expertise: Media Built for Marketing
While we love photography, our focus is on media that works. Our services are specifically designed to meet the demands of modern golf marketing:
• High-Resolution Photography: Perfect for brochures, print advertising, and large-scale clubhouse displays.
• 4K Cinematic Video: Ideal for digital advertising, social media campaigns, and website hero sections.
• Architectural & Clubhouse: Comprehensive coverage of clubhouses, resort amenities, and interiors.
"We don't just capture images of your course; we craft the visual narrative that drives your marketing strategy forward."
