John Taylor

I’m a professional photographer based in Los Angeles, California.

Once upon a time, I wanted to be a fashion photographer. After falling in love with the works of Herb Ritts, Philip Dixon and Peter Lindberg I was on a mission! I taught myself the basics of photography and a year later, by some bizarre twist of fate I won a scholarship to The School of Visual Arts in NYC.  

In my second year at S.V.A. I scored an assistant photographer gig working on Playboy shoots. I worked under Gen Nishino and Debbee May for three years. Eventually, I grew tired of dealing with NYC’s winters so I packed up and relocated to Los Angeles.

Most of my shoots are pure improv...

In summation, I’m just a big dork who takes pictures of things…

I’ve worked for Penthouse, FOX Magazine, Gallery Magazine, Bass Player Magazine, Guitar Player Magazine, Campus Circle, Playboy and numerous websites for various musicians, actors, adult film stars, Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets.
