CLOSER: A PHOENIX TAYLOR PHOTOBOOK

Adv: in a close manner; (to look) closely

Noun: one who closes



Closer is the answer to an age-old question in the back of Phoenix Taylor’s mind:

"How can I let people see and enjoy my photos the way they were meant to be seen?"

Fibers, textures; an almost surreal painted look, showcasing the supple of skin and grit of detail. Phoenix Taylor is a painter, photography is his medium. Recognized internationally, he has carved his place in the world of photography with images that defy the prosaic standards of the art. Despite any formal grooming in photography, he has not relied on the tactics passed from predecessors, but instead has come to terms on his own in a way that suits him best. The result: crystal-clear images bleeding with color and passion that require a Closer look.
