Taylor typically uses light as a way to capture her photos; natural light that is. They come across very raw, despite them being edited and definitely lowered in saturation (assumedly.) The above image I found really interesting. I love the way that the figure is almost completely blacked out; somewhat caught in a moment of complete hopelessness or it could be the complete opposite and they could be completely satisfied and having a moment to settle the overwhelming feel of being comfortable for a change. That's what I like about Taylors work most; that it keeps you guessing. The centre point is the focal point; that's the first thing you see when you look into the image. However, I do think that if she brightened the behind window, maybe it would make it even more interesting (but that could wash it out and make it an absolute shamble.)
The leaves or are they trees? This one completely interests me because it shows depth and I still can't figure out if it's trees from a height of if it's some foliage from a garden/street somewhere. Although, my conclusion is that it's the foliage option; again it's keeping the Taylor question game coming. The colours have been desaturated again, which I find truly lovely. I don't like, however, that it feels like it has a complete filter over the top of it; like you have something on your glasses. I think it may be intentionally faded as appose to it having a complete filter over the top, but I'm personally not a fan of that.
This is beautiful. It feel ultimately minimalist; which is very interesting since most imagery of bathrooms seem to be over edited and highly saturated. I think I'm probably more drawn to it because I am a person lover of everything being dark and high in shadow. She's kept it central again, where the main lit area is directly where your eyes go (in the centre) and the bath being the ultimate focal point due to it being the brightest part of the image.
Another bathroom photos, but I see this one completely different. This one has more atmosphere and seems to be a lot less flat than the above one. This one is darker in shadow and has a much higher highlight; which I completely adore. However, I'd have bought down the brightness on the towel (?) because I feel like that would have pulled the image together; but over-all I think it's such a great composition. The light is somewhat in 3 instalments - wall, central wall and window - which is where your eyes follow all the way across the image as appose to one section of the image.
This one is very Petra Collins x Keaton Henson - both my favourites. Maybe even a little Olivia Bee; just because they seem so raw and desaturated with a undertones highlight of pink which makes the images very warm. The actual object inside the image is a person, which makes you question whether or not that could be a friend of hers and maybe she has sentimental value to Taylor. The pictures give an almost romantic atmospheric feel due to the subtle, delicateness of the composition and how soft the over-all images look.
