In his technique Kim Taylor takes this idea of a momentary glimpse of reality and pushes it even further than the release of the shutter. At the beginning of a session with one of his models, Taylor may have absolutely nothing in his head. Starting with a background, a light and a body he begins to explore shape and shadow, looking for something, anything that pulls at his attention. In a way he surrenders to the thoughtlessness of the unconscious, and allows his eye to guide his hand and his voice. Taking hundreds of images he searches for the ephemeral moment where the light, the model, the camera and his reactions come together to produce what you see in his art.
