You’ve probably seen his photos on Instagram. He even did the 2019 Mackinac Island Lilac Festival Poster. It’s Jimmy Taylor, Michigan-based artist and photographer. Photography has been a passion project of Taylor since his 20s. He was first inspired by his uncle, and classic photography. You can tell most of his shots are done either during sunrise or sunset, and therefore have a dramatic, expressive quality to them. It’s a gift to get to see Mackinac Island through different perspectives, and Taylor always brings something new and unique to the table. Whether it’s capturing Main Street at the dead of night, or capturing landscapes from a different angle, Taylor’s work always stands out in the crowd.
