Medford Taylor: In Motion

Internationally known photographer Medford Taylor will show a sampling of his work in Sweet Briar College’s Babcock Gallery.

Taylor, whose professional career spans more than 40 years, teaches digital photography at Sweet Briar. He is particularly known for his photojournalism and nature photography and has covered events from the Civil Rights Movement to Mexico’s monarch butterfly migration. He has photographed for National Geographic Magazine, TIME, Newsweek and more. In 2002, he published the book, “Saltwater Cowboys: A Photographic Essay of Chincoteague Island.”

Taylor says that his new exhibit at Sweet Briar, “In Motion,” is like a book with three chapters. The first chapter will feature photographs from countries he’s visited over his career and which have been in the news recently, like Haiti, Africa and Iran. The second chapter will feature some of Taylor’s favorite images from throughout his career, while the final chapter will include images he’s taken around Sweet Briar’s 3,250-acre campus.
