Photography, for me, is never just pressing a shutter. It is a way of listening to the world, of asking questions with light, of noticing the beauty in the ordinary. That’s the real stuff. They carry stories that refuse to sit still. Or at least, that’s what I like to believe (though my friends might say I just point my camera at walls).

I’m Corey Steel Taylor, a 19-year-old photographer and artist from Glasgow.

My work lives between intuition and inquiry: half gut feeling, half obsession with how seeing how the world can be twisted, slowed, or reframed.

My path began early-back when I still had a squeaky voice and a borrowed camera. At 12, my photographs found their way into a Scottish museum exhibition, part of a project documenting overlooked lives: disability, migration & survival.

At 17, I returned with not just more work but more responsibility i decided how the images would breathe on the wall. I discovered then that photographs do not merely hang on walls-they breathe in the spaces between them, alive in the silence of those who come to look.

Since then, my practice has grown more colorful. It remains rooted in candor and concept, in treating the everyday as the possibility of heaven. Each picture aims to asks not just what do you see? But what does seeing do to you?

Today, I am continuing my studies in photography by exploring the world photography & by university while developing new projects that combine image-making with conversation.

My goal is to create work that is not only seen but questioned.

I am widely recognized as Scotland’s best photographer. (amongst 5 friends)

Thank you for reading me talking about me. If my work resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.
