Later Commercial Work
While awaiting film assignments, Ned Scott filled his spare time with commercial work. His chief client was the Gantner & Mattern Co. of San Francisco, manufacturer of swim wear, sports wear and sweaters. Ned Scott's association with the clothing company lasted from 1937 through 1942 and consisted of creating photographs showcasing their products in realistic settings using both male and female models. Gantner and Mattern produced advertising products using these photographs, and national ads were placed in Vogue, Mademoiselle and Life magazines. Of particular note was their most popular line of male swimwear called WIKIES (no relation to this platform) which figured prominently in Ned Scott's photography of male models.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or work:
“The commercial class has always mistrusted verbal brilliancy and wit, deeming such qualities, perhaps with some justice, frivolous and unprofitable.”
—Dorothy Nevill (1826–1913)
“The work was like peeling an onion. The outer skin came off with difficulty ... but in no time you’d be down to its innards, tears streaming from your eyes as more and more beautiful reductions became possible.”
—Edward Blishen (b. 1920)
