Scott S. Warren was born on August 22, 1957, in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. He is the son of R. Bruce and Nancy (Hunter) Warren. He grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where his mother worked as a photographer.
Scott Warren has been interested in photography since the age of twelve. He studied photography at Utah State University and obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in Photography and a minor in Art History in 1980.
Scott Warren, shortly after receiving his degree, decided that the printed page was the best medium for his work. He attended the National Geographic photography workshop in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Warren began shooting landscapes but soon branched out into capturing images of human interest and travel destinations for various publications, including Audubon, National Geographic World, Newsweek, Smithsonian, Time, U.S. News and World Report, Outside, Washington Times, and Salt Lake Tribune.
His interest in producing books stems from the fact that he is a photographer. Warren's first two books were collaborative efforts. In 1988 he teamed with writer Gary Matlock on Enemy Ancestors: The Anasazi World with a Guide to the Sites, which chronicles the ancient history and culture of the Anasazi Indians, a tribe who lived during the period 200 B.C.-1300 A.D. in the area that is now part of the state of Arizona. Enemy Ancestors serves as an interpretive text and guide to well-known and little-known ruins. Fine photographs accompany the text. In 1989 Warren and his wife Beth created Victorian Bonanzas: Victorian Architecture of the Rocky Mountain West.
Warren authored numerous other books, which can be loosely divided into two categories: travel guides and picture books that capture the essence of times and places little-known or forgotten. In the former category, the travel guides include Exploring Colorado's Wild Areas (1992), 100 Hikes in Arizona (1994), Exploring Arizona's Wild Areas (1996), and 100 Classic Hikes in Colorado (2001). The book Exploring Colorado's Wild Areas breaks down the lesser-known regions of the Colorado wilderness with excellent detail. It contains detailed trail descriptions, trailhead directions, and maps.
Among the second type of books on Warren's bibliography - those which chronicle times and places little-known or now forgotten - are San Juan Skyway: A Colorado Driving Adventure (1990), Cities in the Sand: The Ancient Civilizations of the American Southwest (1992), and Desert Dwellers: Native People of the American Southwest (1997).
In 1997 Warren chanced to read a newspaper article about some Navajo students from Utah who were going on a six-week exchange visit to northwest Siberia, in northern Russia. Warren signed on to accompany the students as an adult supervisor. Upon his return home, he sold some of his photographs and an article he wrote about the experience in the Salt Lake Tribune. Warren was so intrigued by what he had seen in Siberia that he went back there seven more times on his own to take photos and gather information for articles and a book he was planning. He spent a total of twelve months in the Russian north, with financial support from an organization called the Blue Earth Alliance and a thirty-five-thousand-dollar Alicia Patterson fellowship. In six visits to the Russian territory, Warren documented what happens to a people isolated from the rest of the world.
Warren plans to spend more time in Siberia and to document how oil exploration in the region is about to forever change the sensitive environment and the lives and culture of the people who live there.
