We hired Taylor to cover a recent event for Duke Cancer Network conference. His charge was to capture a range of shots, spanning several different stylistic options. He was punctual, professional and extremely talented with a keen eye for composition and style. And a great guy with a can-do attitude to boot. I highly recommend working with Taylor for any photography project you have. Whether portraiture, macros, candid event shots, or lit shots on set, he is extremely qualified and capable.
Taylor is a truly talented photographer. He shot stock photos for my product line and I was amazed at how quickly he got them photographed, edited, and sent to me while offering super high quality images. Hes also very pleasant to work with and has a relatable, friendly, and caring personality. I highly recommend him for product photos - and everything else Ive seen of his is magic! I am definitely going to hire him again for product photos when I change my packaging and also for production photos and headshots for my employee bios. He is a GEM!
If I could possibly rate Taylor more highly, I would! Every aspect of working with him is a delight. His studio space is inviting, while maintaining a peaceful vibe. Hes so helpful with gentle direction, yet he allows space for completely genuine moments and hes quick to capture those as well. Hes able to achieve a wide variety of lighting/photography styles with just a few efficient adjustments. And his results are stunning! The images are edited in a subtle, yet meticulous way that allows the subjects personality to shine through, uninhibited. Absolutely beautiful work!
Taylor is an exceptional photographer. I hired him for a headshot for my speaking engagements, website, and social media. He was the consummate professional, working with me to determine the best format for my needs, as well as providing alternatives for different purposes. With some photographers, you are simply a number, and they spend minimal time with you. With Taylor, he approached our work as an art project, with the end result exactly what I needed. I highly recommend him.
I found Taylor after looking at several photographers websites in Asheville. His website accurately reflects the excellence of the work that he does in capturing the essence of a persons inner being. He has an excellent response time and was great in helping us make a decision based on an outdoor natural setting versus an indoor studio setting. He attends to every detail...from helping us to be very comfortable with coaching for our expressions and our positions for the photo shoot to quickly producing the many proofs to select from. His calmness and kindness as well as professionalism speaks volumes about his love for photography and genuine kindness. I recommend him highly.
I hired Taylor to take professional head shots of all of the physicians at our local pediatrician office. Our experience working with Taylor was absolutely fantastic! He was helpful in determining everything from what color we should wear to the best background and getting the physicians to feel comfortable in front of the camera. He even came to our office to make it as convenient as possible for our busy doctors. He kept the shoot moving efficiently and the doctors very happy. Our final product was exactly what we needed. He even made sure we had different resolution photos for various media prints. We had a great experience with Taylor and would recommend him without reservation. Thanks so much Taylor!!
My name is Chelsey and I am a producer for a Salt Lake City marketing agency, The Summit Group. I reached out to Taylor for a project we were working on with SUBWAY to get photos of local franchisee owners. Taylor not only took portrait photos of the owners but also got shots of local landmarks. Taylor was a pleasure to work with. I was not able to be at the shoot in person but Taylor helped organize the shoots and make the owners feel comfortable. He was very professional and personable. I was very happy not only with the photos that Taylor took but with his urgency. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone and any business. Thank you Taylor!
Taylor did author photos for my new book. We shot at the location of my choice. He arrived precisely on time, quickly selected background and lighting that favored me, and took dozens of shots. The shoot took less than 30 minutes but he provided over 30 proofs the next day for me to choose from. After I made my selection, he promptly sent exactly what I asked for--3 resolutions in b&w as well as color. The photos are gorgeous--rich, clear, and flattering. I could not have had a better experience. I recommend Taylor very highly
Last Spring, we at the Johnson & Wales University researched photographers close to our three satellite campuses. We were looking for photographers who had professional expertise, a good eye, and a way with people. Of the candidates we identified, we chose Taylor, and we have never been disappointed.Taylor has shot a number of events and done location work for us at the Charlotte campus. He’s easy to work with, takes direction well, is diligent and highly self-motivated. He’s also punctual, deadline oriented, works within our budget, and has given us truly excellent work. We can, and will, hire him again.As the Design Director of the University’s publications department, I work with a lot of different photographers, and I give Taylor my highest and unqualified recommendation. You should hire him too.Brian MurphyDirector, Design & Editorial ServicesJohnson & Wales University
Taylor has exceeded my expectations in all aspects of his work for Still Point Wellness. He has taken most of the photos for our current website and we plan to use his services to make our videos. His photo of our float tank has been featured on Jeopardy!, and across various social and print media platforms and publications. In addition to his creativity and artistry, he is also professional and easy to deal with. His contracts were straightforward and generous, and to put it simply, he does the right thing when it comes down to business. I wholeheartedly recommend him and any service he has to offer.
I hired Taylor Taz Johnson to be a photographer and filmmaker for our business, Unity Healing Arts. I was in need of professional photographs and video for our website and for marketing purposes. I have worked with with Taylor on multiple occasions in order to create the videos that are on display on our homepage as well as for the group shots of my staff and individual head-shots. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of the finished products and with the process of working together to reach those products. I think the video and photo quality speak for themselves as high end professional, and I would like to add that the quality of the experience in working with Taylor is also top notch. He was dependable and timely on all occasions and good to his word on the timetables laid our for the projects. There were no surprises in the production or billing for the final products. Also, he brings a team oriented energy to the projects, which made it fun to create the vision together of what our photos and videos were attempting to capture. I dont hesitate to recommend.
Our firm hired Taylor to photograph our Spring employee and client appreciation event here in Asheville. He came highly recommended to us from a photographer that I have worked with in the past. Taylor was very professional while still being warm and friendly. He was extremely accommodating and at the end of the day, the results really captured the personality and culture of the event and of our company as a whole. Thank you Taylor!
I hired Taylor to do a commercial shoot for my company a couple of months ago. He was very responsive and I appreciated his flexibility and creativity, as our staging area was not the best since we didnt have our full product ready yet. Prior to the shoot, Taylor was very thorough and answered all my questions and addressed his needs, too (which turned out to be very helpful in preparing for the shoot). He was able to quickly turn around the photos and they all turned out great (despite being in a not-so-ideal location).
Our company needed a photographer to help gather images for our new product launch. Taylor drove to Knoxville on a few days notice and was very professional. He is personable and easy to work with. The image turnaround was super quick and they turned out great! Everyone in our office is very pleased. We will be using Taylor again very soon.
I dont normally post reviews, but I had such a great experience with Taylor that I felt I had to!I am a dentist in Charlotte, NC and I needed photos of my office, my staff, and myself for my new website that is being designed. I felt like it was a pretty big job and didnt know if I could find someone to capture what I had in my mind.Taylor was so professional, but also so much fun to work with. He has great energy and made the hours spent taking photos enjoyable for everyone. All of the photos turned out amazing....I dont know how he did it, but the angles and lighting gave each picture a unique, polished look.I am so proud to see the finished product on my website!As well as being an extremely talented photographer, Taylors communication was great. He could always be reached with any questions or concerns I had and was very responsive to them.I cannot recommend Taylor highly enough!Heather Gentry
I worked with Taylor for my social media head shots. What a wonderful experience! His pictures captured my authentic self—helping me to show the world who I really am.Taylor helped me every step of the way; giving advice on what to wear, suggestions of where to get professional makeup applied, and having a fun and effective photo shoot.I strongly recommend Taylor for anyone who like a photo that displays their very best self!
I hired Taylor to do some product photography for our companys online store. He was super helpful with everything I could have wanted. Not only were the photos great, but Taylor was super creative and created numerous shots that would have never crossed my mind - and it turns out those photos were the best ones! I would definitely recommend!
Taylor was fantastic in my headshot / portrait session with him, and the photos he took came out wonderfully! He made me feel very at-ease, got many natural smiles out of me (not an easy task), and helped me correct some bad portrait habits, all while keeping me relaxed and loose, with plenty of opportunities to see how photos were coming out and make adjustments.I highly recommend him for head shots and portraits as well as event photography, and you should also check out his lovely travel photographs too - seeing those online was part of what convinced me to choose him for my own professional photo session!
I am beyond thrilled to have found Taylor! Being new to Asheville, I didnt know where to turn for professional photography as I was upgrading my website. I found Taylor on Google and hoped for the best. I loved his studio and my husband and I actually stayed for the entire photo shoot, it was so fun to watch him work and he was lovely to be around. The pictures came out INCREDIBLE…beyond my expectations. His price was right and he delivered exactly what he said he would, when he said he would. I highly recommend working with this wonderfully talented man and I will be bringing 100% of my photo needs business to him from now on.
I hired Taylor to cover the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Sustainer Summit at the Omni Grove Park Inn in mid-October 2019. Our events over the weekend included educational presentations, speeches, panels, seated suppers and a cocktail event in downtown Asheville. At every turn, Taylor was a consummate professional who took the time to get candid shots suitable for our organizations digital purposes, while also getting to know our members and gathering shots that they are excited to have framed in their own homes. He absolutely exceeded expectations on every front and I cannot wait to work with him again next fall.
Taylor recently photographed me for a head shot and I could not have been more pleased with the results. I was struggling with my aging looks, and he made me look like a rock star! Hes a very talented photographer with a very calm demeanor and I believe he could take the most unphotogenic person and make them feel at ease and capture the beauty that he sees in his eyes. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing a professional head shot.
Taylor was amazing to work with. Being a creative director and artist myself, I had a very defined look and feel I was going for. Taylor not only nailed an amazing location, his direction, shots, and editing exceeded my own expectations. I got exactly what I needed and more than I could have imagined. Not only that Taylor is kind, humorous, sharp, and a pro to the core. I highly recommend him!
I needed professional videos shot with complete white background and Taylor delivered! His attention to detail during the lead-up made the shoot seamless and relaxed. Taylor had his beautiful studio space ready and organized with a full lighting and background configuration which worked perfectly for the pieces we needed shot. The files got to us quickly and communication was warm and efficient.
Taylor was wonderful to work with! He was able to work us in on short notice and we had our pictures the very next day! He made it easy and provided a great service. We will definitely call on him for further photography/video needs.
Taylor worked for me as both a photographer and a filmmaker and he is remarkably gifted at both. In addition, he is a great listener and was able to turn my vision for both projects into a beautifully crafted products that reflected both my personal vision and his unique creative input. Taylor is very professional, prompt, and responsive. I could not recommend him more.
Mr. Johnson is a serene and considerate man who convinced me that he really liked my work. The photographs he made were exactly what I asked for, and he worked very quickly at the shoot. Short turnaround time to get files, and at a reasonable fee.
Not accustomed to being on camera, filling uneasy is common. However, Taylor has a way of making you feel comfortable, relaxed, and energetic. Never knew when Taylor was taking pictures, but the end results were incredibly satisfying and painless.
Taylor has been an incredible partner to work with. He went on a two week trip to India with me to capture the very complex story of my company, Darn Good Yarn. Between his stills and videography, he perfectly captured our triple bottom line mission as a company. Finding a creative professional who understands what it means to balance a budget along with getting a high-quality product is hard to come by. Taylor exceeded all of my expectations as a professional. He was able to produce a commercial storyline from the footage to help us draw closer to bringing our message to our Darn Good Yarners.~Nicole SnowFounder & CEODarn Good Yarn Inc.
As an owner of Buchi Kombucha I have worked with Taylor professionally for almost 4 years. Hes shot all of our bottles (multiple times) as well seasonal landscape pictures of the farm where we live, our brewery and our team. The quality of his pictures is stunning, he has a quick turn around and is competitively priced for such a high level of professionalism. Hes also a great human being and a delight to work with. Look no further, youve found a quality photographer and human being.
Taylor is so professional! Working with him was so enjoyable. He takes beautiful photographs and has wonderful customer service skills. Our team looks forward to working with Taylor in the future!
As an emerging actor, Taylor offered an incredible first experience with professional headshots. He is easygoing and creates a welcoming and natural space that facilitates honest and flattering poses. I was incredibly happy with the results of our session, and have already submitted them for several job opportunities. His basic headshot package gave me a great value for the money, and he worked with me to find a time we were mutually free during the busy holiday season. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a truthful and well-crafted headshot.
What an amazing photographer & Filmmaker! I am so blessed that we found Taylor ! Professional, warm, and extremely talented - check out the video he did for our organization!
