I’m Cymon Taylor, and I’d like to welcome you warmly to my website.

The quote above is from the photographic hero who’s inspired me throughout my career. For me, his words sum up the intuitive, emotional approach that underlies all my work, so it felt appropriate to begin with it.

Based in London and Tuscany, I’m a professional photographer, specialising in photographing people, places and cars. Each genre has a firm set of challenges that inspire me, and I’m proud that critics describe my work as evocative and authentic across multiple genres. That’s because I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation of each of them through the rich experiences of a career spanning 30 years.

My images capture all the emotions and unique details of their subjects, turning your ideas into luminous moments while showcasing your brand as authentically as possible. I treat each and every commission on its own merit, using a mix of sound technical foundation, impeccable attention to detail and evolving creativity to cut out bluff and provide every client with my finest work. My flexible approach puts you first, working closely with you to achieve your vision and using established workflows to get there.

I’ve been fortunate that my photography work has taken me all over the world in the last few decades, from Monaco to the Bahamas. But it’s the radiant, ethereal light of Tuscany that’s my muse, and that’s why it’s also the place I call my second home. Florence – ever the picture-perfect background set for the motion and stills world – is on my doorstep, and it never fails to inspire.

That’s why I also offer photographic retreats here in the heart of Tuscany, including workshops and tours designed to help you develop your own visualisation, workflow and creativity. If you’re hoping to make the leap from amateur to professional, my one-to-one mentoring will be of particular benefit.

Whatever genre I’m working in, and whoever I’m working with, I put my heart and soul into creating work that brings value. Beyond my commercial work, I struggle with injustice and continue to search for avenues where photography can become a platform to make positive changes for those in need. To that end, 0,01 is a current project.

Whether you want to discuss a photography commission or you’re interested in coming to Tuscany to hone your photographic skills, just call or email me – I’m here to assist you, in English or Italian.
