W


hile The Badlands
series stands out as
being unique in
subject matter for
Taylor, the thematic undertow of
his imagery remains consistent
with his first body of work in that
he has always been drawn to
mysterious and dark inclement
weather and thunderstorms along
with gothic horror. He admits, ‘It’s
probably rooted in me growing up
watching old black & white films
like Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca,
The 39 Steps, Brief Encounter


  • any of those British films from
    the 1940s and 1950s when Britain
    was at its darkest.’
    Taylor shot The Badlands
    images with a Rolleiflex 2.8F or
    3.5F using Ilford Delta 400 which
    he rates at 200, then processes in
    PMK Pyro as he feels this
    developer ‘has the ability to hold
    subtle separation, especially in
    the highlights, while still
    retaining detail in the shadows.’
    The final platinum-palladium


prints are exquisite at 10x10in in
an edition of 15 plus proofs.
Currently Taylor is working on
another series in the Boreal forest

of Northern Minnesota using a
Mamiya 7. He plans to print the
pictures as small silver images.
