I specialize in event and portrait photography, with a documentarian style.
Let’s turn present moments into tomorrow’s memories.
During the last Thursday of March, @oblivionindiana held their bi-weekly live figure drawing with owner @unofficialkate filing the role of live figure, accompanied by many not live figures including Bobby (the Bear) and Bobby (the bobcat).
Kate’s dog even made a surprise appearance as well.
As always, love figure drawings are hosted and orchestrated by local polymath @benetorious, and if you too would like to draw a live (and/or less live) figure, today, April 9th, is another opportunity for this pay what you can experience that’s open to all skill levels.
Most images digital, captured on @sonyalpha A1 or @leica_camera Q3, select images captured on @ilfordphoto 120 film stock and processed by the wonderful team of @robertscamera.

Nick Dittmeier (@nick_dittmeier_music) brought his exceptional songwriting and guitar talent and quintessential Americana style back to Richmond for March’s first Flavor Notes showcase.
Nick’s songwriting is astounding as his guitar picking skills, and he blends Americana, rock, and country tones with wonderful storytelling that always becomes an earworm.
Flavor Notes is a monthly concert series showcasing local and regional talent hosted by @achillestenderloin and @roscoescoffee
(Working through some of the backlog, so things are coming out well past when they happened. Working on cleaning up that turn around.)

A continuation of the TFP meetup at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati.
@thexartxzombiex is a model and artist based out of Ohio, she also had a cleaver idea to take photos from the floor, and despite my joints contesting, I think they’re some of the best of the set.
Select photos taken with a Mamyia RB67 on Kodak Portra 800 and developed by the always amazing team at @robertscamera
Huge thanks to the American Sign Museum as well for allowing use of their space.

A couple weeks ago, I had an opportunity to join a group of models and photographers for a TFP shoot at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati.
These were done with @nuclearkity, an Ohio based model.

Did you know @oblivionindiana and @act3pottery host regular monthly workshops to get hands on with clay?
I got some impromptu images of the latest workshop held on Tuesday March 24th where participants made a wall pocket.

Live figure drawing. December 11, 2025.

So. These are incredibly behind, BUT here are some photos and portraits of December’s figure drawing of @alixwhitstaff hosted at @oblivionindiana and led by @benetorious.
I’ve been using rented equipment the past month to explore some different processes and challenge myself a bit more. Doing this primarily with a fix lens camera was certainly differnt but I did supplement with my more conventional portrait setup at some points.
Images are captured on an either a Leica Q2 with the fixed 28mm lens or a Sony a1 with 50GM or Samyang 135.

On December 13th, despite the cold and snow, Jacob Abshire was hosted by Oblivion for a pop up.
It was incredibly insightful to learn about Jacob’s creative process and hear him talk about his work and technique. His graphite and technical pencil drawings are incredibly impressive, and the pure amount of talent can’t be overstated.
Here are a few images to capture just a fraction of Jacob’s humble and approachable personality and awe inspiring artwork.

Hey all, I’ve gotten some prints in of some pieces I’ve done over the last few years that fall outside my typical event and music work.
Selling prints and photos as pieces of art is new for me, so I’ve selected some pieces that resonate with me to start.
We’ll see how this path develops.
Thank you all. -tg

Open Sketch Club at @oblivionindiana
I don’t really do well with sketching, so I just take pictures of everyone else as they work.
On a bit of a personal note, I’ve been in a bit of a slump with my creative work and questioning my skill in my own discipline, so I’ve been putting myself in more unfamiliar settings and forcing myself to using different and new tools to try and jumpstart some kind of creative eureka moment.
I’ve borrowed a Leica Q2 to force myself to try and both work within its confines, and slow myself down a bit (also it’s a Leica). All these images are taken with said camera, and I’ve become quite fond of it in only the few hours I’ve had to get familiar with it.
I find the wider fixed focal length makes me be a bit closer and more social, it also makes me think more broadly as to what around me adds to the story.
I’m not sure it’ll cure all the aliments, but I do think it’ll help retrain a decade or so of self imposed limitations due to bad habits and lazy techniques. It’s making me be more intentional and maybe letting me know, I don’t have to take 4000 images every time I get the camera out. As with much of my creative works, it’s still a work in progress.
Thank you all for being so great. -tg

At the end of November, @oblivionindiana hosted @cruxx.wtf for an experimental set as part of their winter holiday pop up.
I, however, didn’t get photos done until now…
Anyway, here’s some shots of Cruxx with my own experimental process and practices mixed in.

My name’s Taylor. I’ve been taking pictures for over a decade. I focus on capturing the essence of a moment wholistically. My work stands on it’s own as individual images, but really shines when my photos are seen in there complete collection.
My my goal is to always produce the best work possible, and create images that blend technical expertise, human compassion, and a little bit of magic.
