Vidn took his first photography class when he was in high school. He bought his first DSLR camera in 2011 for a trip to Alaska and he has been obsessed with photography ever since. Vidn loves sharing the natural beauty this world has to offer through photography, especially in the Pacific Northwest where he lives. He likes creating photographs that draw you in and makes you feel like you are there standing on the edge looking at the valley below and the mountains on the other side, smelling the flowers, hearing the waves hit the shoreline, watching the storm clouds pass by or hearing the roar of the waterfall and watching the water flow over the cliff in front of you. He views photography as a tool to artistically recreate the scene that was in front of him. His goal is to create photographic art that inspires and evokes emotions.

A note on Vldn Taylor's name: Pronounced Veldon or well done but with a V. Vidn recommends reading the book Notes from Out of the Shadows by Garnet June if you are interested in how he got his name. Or if you get a chance to meet him in person just ask. He was born in the Midwest and moved to Oregon with his parents when he was two.
