I’m a Director of Photography & Gaffer with a wealth of experience in product, commercial, and table top cinematography.I have freelanced for numerous clients, including lighting and camera work for Barnes & Noble's Nook, Belvedere Vodka, Bloomberg News, Estée Lauder, Girl Scouts USA, Global Citizen, Google, the Philharmonia Orchestra of New York, SAP, Teach For America, Tinder, and promos for Vh1's "Love and Hip Hop", as well as the mobile apps Better Health, My7, SPENT, and Welvie. For Girl Scouts USA, I created a popular series of stop-motion social media product videos titled, “Cookie-Worthy Moments”, that re-enacted pop culture events using thin mints and samoas. Those videos frequently doubled the brand’s typical view counts, and were featured on Adweek.com and ESPN’s on-air coverage of the 2014 World Cup. Last summer, I was gaffer on The CW's "Ready, Set, Pet!" -- a reality show about pet adoption. On occasion, I have also worked in non-cinematography roles, including an assistant animator position on a Mattel Barbie shoot.Additionally, my personal short film projects have played in over 30 festivals, including the Austin, Aspen Shorts, Hot Springs, Nantucket, and the New Orleans Film Festivals. Because of my experience shooting personal projects (often for micro budgets), I am comfortable working independently and pragmatically.For samples of my work, you can see my portfolio at www.taylorstanton.com.
