BIO

VISTORS

Phoenix Taylor was born in Northern Michigan in 1981, on the bay of Lake Huron in a town called East Tawas. He has studied photography and the arts since 7th grade (1995), and furthered his education in Tulsa, OK in a Graphic Design Program at Tulsa Technology Center (Lemley Campus). There he studied under Paul King learning how to Illustrate and Edit using Adobe Creative Suites in the pursuit of a job in Comic Book Illustration. In November of 2001, he moved to Dallas Texas (where he currently resides) in hopes of finding better options for employment. His first job in Dallas was selling "Flash Art" to tattoo shops that he had drawn himself and selling perfume door to door and out of his car at local markets and car washes. In 2005 Phoenix took a job as a General Manager at a local Club called "Spike" in Mockingbird Station, in the upscale shopping district of the city. While working this job, he practiced his art on the side as a freelance artist, selling tattoo designs, business logos and doing small shoots here and there. It was through this job that he was able to gain a social status in his community and met many of the people that would support him once he decided to quit his job and become a full-time artist.It wasn't long before the amount of freelancing jobs he was receiving was directly conflicting with his demanding position as a General Manager and he made the decision to leave Spike and rely only on his art and photography for an income. Phoenix moved into a small apartment with two roommates, sold his car, sent his credit cards back and consolidated his outgoing income to support the uncertainty of moving into a market of being a starving artist! He didn't have to starve long...Phoenix had gained a huge following through working at Spike as well as by utilizing the Social Networking site MYSPACE.com. It was using these resources that made it possible to make his first month in business his most lucrative (at that point) month of his entire life! He instantly booked up his entire next three months of shooting within the first two weeks of quitting his "day job".Since then, Phoenix has received international recognition through his work with such clients as:VIRGIN RECORDS, JACKSON RATHBONE (TWILIGHT), ROBERT LASARDO (DEATH RACE, NIP-TUCK), TATTOO LIFE MAGAZINE, TATTOO ENERGY, IRONHORSE MAGAZINE, MARZIA PRINCE, ARTISTS ON DEMAND, DALLAS MORNING NEWS... and many more! He now lives out of his studio in Deep Ellum, TX with his partner; the Alt-Model, Ivy Zehring. There he continues to do Photography, Illustration work, Graphic Design and has managed to get a strong foothold in the Wedding Market as well! He currently runs 3 companies: Phoenix Taylor Photography, Four Walls Wedding Services and WebPlus Photos. He has also published three books: TOUCH, CLOSER and NO SLEEP: THE JACKSON RATHBONE STORY. With the world as his oyster, he looks very much forward to the possibilities ahead as several rather large projects make their way to him! He is a force of creative energy, using his education and experience in illustrating to give his photographs an almost "painted" feel to them, cleverly creating images that challenge what is real and what is impossible. He enjoys taking his audience along for a ride inside of his head with each unique creation.
"Phoenix Taylor is one of my favorite go to photographers here in Dallas. I was introduced to his work by a girlfriend of mine who shot with him. I instantly noticed the quality of his work. It was like no other! I immediately contacted him to set up my shoot. I loved his personality instantly. He is a laid back guy with a ton of talent. You have to check out his whole portfolio to believe it. His work feels like you got bitch slapped with colors. He does the simple to the complex. His work ranges from fitness, family, baby, pregnancy, weddings, alternative, Goth, nature, nudes, ect... such a wide range of talented work. There isnt anything this guy cant do! Not only does he have amazing work, he has such amazing rates that I set up 5 shoots with him! I am working on a huge project and he is the main photographer! I shoot with him a few times a month. So excited to see what we create together. I will be shooting with this guy for everything! "MARZIA PRINCE-FITNESS/HEALTH MODEL and CEO of THE HEALTHY HOUSEWIVES" I recently worked with Phoenix Taylor for the first time. His work is nothing short of amazing. He is probably the most creative photographer I know and with any idea he will take it to the next level and it will be million times better! Not only is his photography totally awesome but he is a very down to earth funny guy. He is super professional and really makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. All of your images will turn out fantabulous! I highly recommend working with Phoenix Taylor on any type of project or service! "SAMANTHA KNIGHT- ALT MODEL"Phoenix ranked high on the list of my favorite photographers long before I journeyed into modeling. When I finally dove from the cliff I knew I had to have a piece of Phoenix in my portfolio. The first thing I learned about the man behind the camera is that he does everything in his power to make a person feel comfortable during the shoot, cracking jokes and coaching you into the poses that will make gold. From the first second its clear that this is his passion, his life and where some people are just clicking a button, Phoenix is immortalising a moment. It's rare to see such passion in artists and I believe it reflects in his work. 2011 looks to be the dawn of something new in his career and every shot is cleaner, more vibrant, shows more texture, and hits the story home harder than any of the images before. Phoenix has an uncanny talent to take something and make it beautiful, tear it down again and find a gem in the rubble." Stefanya Kaczmarczyk- ALT MODELPhoenix Taylor's art is an embodiment of himself. His works are beautiful, vibrant, full of life, and range from simple to complex. His wide array of photography and videography evoke cathartic emotions ranging from lust, sadness, joy, and awe. His photoshop abilities, personable personality, and creative mind compile to allow for a magical process of artistic creation. This was apparent to me the moment I first saw Phoenix's repertoire. From that moment, I knew I wanted to work with him for personal shoots and to purchase a wedding package from him. My engagement photos are lovely, my bridals are beautiful, and my boudoirs are down-right wicked. I have no doubt in my mind that, when my wedding day comes and goes, I will have the very best pictures to look back on.HILLARY ATWOOD- CLIENTPhoenix Taylors work is full of drama. From concept to post-production, he values setting a spell on his viewer, creating a world, and telling a story with his images. Phoenix has guts. His imagination is tuned. His work is dangerously good looking.JUSTIN LOCKLEAR-ACTOR WARDROBE STYLIST." I recently had the pleasure of working with Phoenix Taylor during the "Room 9" session. His charisma and willingness to create magic was an instant confirmation that I was about to form part of an amazing project. His aesthetic and tasteful editing reflects a level of professionalism not easily found. He is able to clearly communicate his desired end result to his support on set. I can honestly say that I am inspired by his unique vision and talent. I look forward to collaborating with him again very soon. From one to artist to another, Phoenix you ROCK!" - Walter Fuentes, Hair and MakeupWAFU Artistry
