Hi! I'm Taylor.
Welcome in.

I make photographs, films, websites, apps, and educational stories. Take a look around, and if anything sparks a question, reach out. I'd love to hear from you.

Portraits · Families · Weddings

A moment kept, instead of lost.

I love holding on to an instant that would otherwise be gone. I found that I loved pulling single frames from my own films. Clients wanted those frames, so I started shooting stills alongside every video, and never stopped. The result is photos that sometimes look and feel like scenes from a film.

02 /Video

Direct · Shoot · Edit

My longest obsession.

It started with home videos with my brothers, and with how motion and sound can make you feel something. More than 20 years of editing later, from festival runs to short animated commercials, motion pictures still inspire me the most.

03 /Web

Websites, Systems & 3D

Your media, placed where it works.

Clients bought my photos and films, then asked how to use them on their site. So I started planning the whole pipeline: the media, the site, and the SEO that helps people find it. It's full service, and the results hold up.

04 /Apps

Split Volume · Studio Timer

The tools I couldn't find, so I built them.

I got tired of hunting for the right tools, and of being gouged on price for simple, necessary ones. So I make my own. About ten more apps are in development, releasing through the rest of the year.

About

Not the usual, on purpose.

I know what you're seeing isn't typical. Most people pick one skill and build their whole business around it. I went a different way, and it has become my superpower.

Photography, film, web, apps, and teaching all feed each other. I practice and grow every one of them, every day. So when you bring me a project, you get one person who sees the whole picture, from the first frame to the finished site.

Have something in mind? Write to me directly at hello@taylormacbrown.com. I read every message myself, and I'd love to hear what you're making.
