My professional photography website: Taylor Young Photography

This is an exciting post.  My artwork is now featured on a website called Chartfords.  An online gallery with a social marketing business model, Chartfords is a leader in its field.  The concept is simple, people from all over the world can buy art from a simple online platform.  They earn points for all artwork bought and those points enter the Chartfords system and attach to other points in the system.  These points accumulate from art being bought and sold all over the world and in no time at all those points earn you money.  For every $200 Canadian you spend, you get $1,250 back.  It doesn’t matter what currency you use, Chartfords will wire the money directly into your account.

This is a wonderful business to be in and I’m glad Chartfords has asked me to be on board.

It’s The Little Things That Count

My professional photography website: Taylor Young Photography

Before I began my professional photography career, I had a food blog.  I still have the blog actually.  But because I’m now working steadily as a photographer, my dining out has decreased and thus my blogs have decreased.  But, it is still one of my greatest passions.  Not only does it help me become a better food photographer, which in turn brings in more clients, but it gives me another creative outlet.  Recently, while dissecting my blog’s statistics, I noticed a link from a fellow food blogger.  And he had some very nice things to say about me and I just felt like posting them.  It’s nice when once of your peers speaks highly of you.  Makes it all worth it to me.  Here’s what he said:

“That said, after you read my profound remarks about Taco Bus, check out the link I am posting to another blog, a photographer’s blog – a really talented photographer, if you ask me.  I don’t know him; I just happened to look at his recent post about eating at Taco Bus and was amazed by his photos of the place.   Very nice.  With pictures like those, who needs my amateur attempts!”

Thanks for the kind words, my friend.  And below is one of the images from that particular food blog.  The others can be seen by visiting: Passport Foodie

My New Website: Edited for Clarity and Usability

Today completes my newly remodeled website.  I will, most likely improve this even further, but for now, it will do.  My old website was black with white text.  This gave a lot of my clients trouble when trying to read what I had to say.  This new layout is a white background with black text.  I have also included more social media links, like my YouTube page.  Which will have a lot more content added to it very soon.

I also made it easier for my English clients to read, changing my vulgar American words into their English equivalent.  :)

Comments are very welcome.  Please let me know if you like the new design.  And please stay tuned for updates and future website changes.

Chartwell in Kent: My Favorite National Trust

1/400s, f/10.0, ISO200, 24mm, Handheld

There is one membership I value above all others; my National Trust membership.  As a photographer in Sussex, I find it invaluable.  There are so many great sites to see and photograph.  But, my favorite is Chartwell, in Kent.  Home to Winston Churchill and his wife Clementine, Chartwell is the place where World War II was literally won from.  It was here that Mr. Churchill dictated his famous speeches to parliament, and it was here where he came up with his strategies and plans of attack.  This was also his home during most of his time as Prime Minister.

But Chartwell means more to me than just Churchill and World War II.  Chartwell is a beautiful property, with an endless amount of wonderful photographic opportunity.  It might not be as picturesque as Scotney Castle, or some of the other magical National Trusts in the South East, but for all that happened here and for all that it is, if I had to choose just one National Trust to visit, it would be Chartwell.
