The Mission
Adventure Photography
My name is Richard Taylor, an Adventure Sports Photographer, Mountaineer, and Paddler with a passion for storytelling through the lens.
The Adventures we take have meaning to all of us weather its our first journey into the unknown or the climax of years of hard work, I take huge pride in being able to tell that story of those around me. Capturing the raw essence of athletes and the natural world around them.
Fully immersed in the adventure sports culture, I’m not just an observer I aim to get amongst the athletes and their experience to help connect with those I photograph. As an outdoor instructor, I’m dedicated to inspiring others to embrace the thrill of adventure and discover the beauty of photography.

Strategy and Creativity
​Adventure photography goes beyond just taking photos—it’s about strategic thinking and creative vision. From planning shots in dynamic environments to adapting to unpredictable conditions, I blend technical expertise with creative storytelling to capture compelling and authentic moments.
Production and Access
​Adventure photography isn’t just about capturing stunning imagery—it’s about doing so safely in challenging environments. Whether navigating crags, rivers, or other rugged terrains, I have the skills and experience to manage my own safety while delivering high-quality media in demanding conditions.
Post Production
Post-production is where the story truly comes to life. From refining colors and contrast to enhancing details, I ensure each image reflects the energy and authenticity of the adventure. My editing process balances technical precision with creative flair to deliver high-quality, impactful visuals.
