Misha Taylor was born and raised in Cape Town in a family deeply rooted in animal conservation and welfare. His father, a successful film director, later relocated the family to Venice Beach, California, where Misha spent his formative teenage years. After studying photography, he refined his technique and narrative approach in New York and Paris before settling full-time in Europe.

Misha’s work is distinguished by its cinematic storytelling, emotional depth, and a distinct environmental sensibility. He masterfully blends natural light with atmospheric composition to create striking, immersive imagery. His talent for capturing both raw human connection and refined visual narratives have earned him commissions from leading publications and global brands across fashion, lifestyle, and culture.

His editorial work has appeared in WSJ, Modern Weekly, Rika, FT How To Spend It, Homme Girls, Favorite, Vogue, Man About Town, GQ Germany, W, Die Zeit, Primary Paper, Sixteen Journal, Exit, and Under the Influence. Advertising clients include Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Calvin Klein, Massimo Dutti, Nike, David Yurman, Belstaff, J.Crew, Madewell, Zara, Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger, Uniqlo, H&M, Arket, Mr. Porter, Hugo Boss, Mango, Gap, Levi’s, Athleta, Biotherm, Nordstrom, and DKNY.
