Brent Taylor is a dynamic commercial photographer recognized as one of the leading beverage and product photographers in Denver and the greater Colorado market. Known for his refined visual style and a rare blend of East Coast edge, West Coast creativity, and Midwestern grit, Brent creates high-impact imagery for brands across advertising, CPG, and lifestyle campaigns. His work has been featured in Production Paradise and Wonderful Machine.
Since relocating from New York City to Golden in 2014, Brent has continued to evolve his artistic voice while embracing a slower pace that allows for deeper creative exploration. He brings a portfolio-driven mindset to every shoot, approaching both large-scale campaigns and smaller brand stories with the same level of care, precision, and creative intent.
With 20+ years of experience spanning editorial, CPG, lifestyle, and product photography, Brent has worked with national brands and emerging startups alike. His work is defined by meticulous detail, strong composition, and a collaborative approach on set.

A closer look at the brands Brent shoots for out of the Golden studio, and what he brings to each set.
Brent shot Horizon Organic's creamer and milk lines in the Golden studio: high-speed pours, swirls frozen mid-air, and warm breakfast scenes that feel lived-in rather than staged.
The library covers packaging, national campaigns, retailer marketing, and ecommerce, plus five motion assets, all retouched in-house to brand color standards.
For Honey Stinger's waffles and energy snacks, Brent built a product library that shows what's inside: split waffles, bite shots, side profiles, and full packaging lineups across every flavor.
Controlled lighting keeps wrapper reflections and label detail clean at thumbnail and full-bleed scale, with brand video produced alongside the stills.
Yeti Cycles brings its bikes to Brent's studio when they need to look as fast as they ride, from the 40th anniversary ASR to Richie Rude's World Champion SB160.
Each hero frame is built with shaped light that traces tubes, welds, and livery, followed by macro detail on hubs, cranks, and decals.
Rankings, award shortlists, and features from the directories art buyers and creative directors use to find photographers.
Named to Production Paradise's global list of beverage photographers for his work with drinks in motion, from soda pours and coffee to craft cocktails and spirits.
