They serve the same purposes in editorial spreads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59cbfd494c326d51b0d1349e/eaebf23d-d28e-4f58-afd1-48bc4786ad16/DSC_6571.jpg Dale Taylor Photography Home - Ceramics Photographing ceramics is more than just getting the basic shape and color. Good pottery has tactile features as well, and often an emotional sense, both of which must be conveyed in a photograph for it to be successful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59cbfd494c326d51b0d1349e/ebe9ee62-75cd-4cda-bd3e-6305b4058c6d/Image4.jpg Dale Taylor Photography Home - Metals Shiny metals are considered one of the harder things to photograph, but don't discount the problems of being in a foundry with molten metals, either. Good photographs of one of the most important materials in our world help those who work with them find a market for their labors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59cbfd494c326d51b0d1349e/1506621776324-QQ6FQCSZ33AEXR6BAR5T/chess+pieces.JPG Dale Taylor Photography Home - Sculpture Sculpture of all kinds present special problems, since the trick is to show the original work favorably while doing as little as possible to make the image anything more than the artists has already put into the work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59cbfd494c326d51b0d1349e/1506547377173-UOOTPICSXH4S1902454F/Rod+in+red.JPG Dale Taylor Photography Home - Portraits Timeless, classic portraits with more than a touch of your character are the goal of a portrait session with Dale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59cbfd494c326d51b0d1349e/1506548615626-FAU5QXWZ1TN68H7XBUDE/Jazz+singer+1.JPG Dale Taylor Photography Home - Performers & Events Dale strives to find the photo which shows more than the usual, telling a bit of a story about the moment with each image. This may be through highlighting the interactions in an ensemble, or a more relaxed moment than normally makes the national news. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59cbfd494c326d51b0d1349e/1533066166305-D891LGTRP3S85U6374WI/Jimmy+2+print.JPG Dale Taylor Photography Home - Pet POrtraits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59cbfd494c326d51b0d1349e/1506552552357-5M3Q0DTIKE19DMIU8V17/Bob.JPG Dale Taylor Photography Home - Headshots & Promotionals Dale photographs crafters (and their products - see product section) for their publicity materials, models for comp cards and on-line portfolios and Headshots for performers, business people and anyone else who might need one for posters, web sites, social media and fliers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59cbfd494c326d51b0d1349e/680627f0-25fd-4a0a-8a66-31afb2b7bafa/_DSC2530.jpg Dale Taylor Photography Home - Historic Sites Historic Sites and Ruins may be more editorial, but they give us a wonderful opportunity to look at old things in a new way.

Maples These maple leaves are common enough in the east, but in the desert Southwest there are only a few places where they grow in any numbers.
