A Desire to Focus, Create, and Inspire!
Scott Proposki
Scott Proposki’s story is about determination, passion, and relentless focus...
From Humble Beginnings to National Geographic, the White House, and a Thriving Santa Photography Empire.
His ability to blend storytelling with photography shaped his career and helped countless photographers turn their passion into a thriving business.
Growing up with ADHD, I struggled to stay on track and felt disconnected from traditional paths.
When I discovered photography, everything changed.
It became my superpower—a way to channel my creativity, gain clarity, and meaningfully connect with the world.
Photography gave me the ability to capture not just moments but also emotions, stories, and opportunities.
It opened doors I never imagined, including photographing at the White House and working with inspiring people and organizations.
This journey has shaped me and drives my passion to help others reach their potential through the lens.
The White House Story I Didn’t Tell You…
From Chaos to the White House...How I Almost Blew My Biggest Gig!
So, I made it to the White House as an event photographer. Pretty cool, right?
In Chapter 10 of Camera Focus, I share my wild experience—being at the White House under lockdown while a shooting unfolded at the U.S. Capitol—all happening right in front of my lens.
But here’s what I didn’t tell you…
I almost blew the gig before it even started.
Why? Because I was a hot mess—constantly distracted, scrambling at the last minute, and second-guessing everything. I was talented, sure. However, my lack of systems and structure nearly got me stuck at the Secret Service checkpoint instead of inside the event.
Everything changed when I built a repeatable system for my business. That’s when the corporate gigs started rolling in, and I finally stopped living gig-to-gig, hoping for referrals.
And that’s exactly what I want for you, too.
The concepts of the Camera Focus Method provide a lifetime knowledge."

The Story Behind the Camera Focus Method
A path of overcoming challenges and achieving what once seemed impossible.
1. Struggles with Focus Became a Search for Solutions
Growing up with ADHD, maintaining focus was one of my biggest struggles. Dreams felt out of reach because I struggled to stay on track or finish what I started. But this challenge forced me to explore tools, techniques, and strategies to harness my energy and find clarity in chaos.
2. Creativity Became My Outlet
ADHD fueled my creativity. While I struggled with traditional learning and working methods, my mind thrived on visual expression and storytelling. Picking up a camera allowed me to channel my ideas into something tangible and impactful.
3. My Camera Became My Superpower
When I discovered photography, everything changed. It gave me the focus I was missing—a way to stay present and fully engaged. My camera turned obstacles into opportunities, becoming the bridge between my dreams and reality.
4. ADHD Taught Me Resilience
Living with ADHD meant navigating failures, doubts, and moments of feeling “not good enough.” But each setback taught me resilience. I learned to embrace my unique way of thinking and to turn setbacks into stepping stones.
5. It Shaped My Mission to Help Others
ADHD didn’t just shape my journey—it gave me a mission. I’ve realized that many photographers face similar struggles with focus, organization, and achieving their goals. My journey inspired me to create resources and programs like The Camera Focus Blueprint to help others overcome these obstacles and thrive.
6. Why Join The Camera Focus Method?
This isn’t just a program—it’s a transformation. I’ll show you how to:
- Scale your photography business, whether you’re just starting or looking to reach the next level.
- I learned from my experience working with a $100-million photography business and a $30-million business and how I built a $5-million business in under three years.
- Overcome challenges, focus on your goals, and turn your passion into an influential, profitable career.
7. If You Think It’s Impossible—Think Again!
I’ve been where you are, and I know the doubts that come with pursuing big dreams. But I’m living proof that you can succeed in your photography business with the right tools, strategies, and support.
