About Me
I believe that any great art starts by beholding what is already there, seeking to understand and seeking to be moved. The rest is just capturing that magic and sharing it. Alchemy. Transcendence. Inviting someone to step through the proverbial wardrobe door and into another world. Every detail of equipment preferences or technical knowledge is in service to this one central goal and desire. I would much rather see a powerful moment captured with mediocre equipment and technique than a dull moment captured impeccably. Wouldn’t you?
Most of my photography centers around beautiful women, who have always motivated and inspired me more than anything. I knew this clearly at a young age as well, as I gladly parted with my daily lunches at age 12 in exchange for an older classmate’s daily offering of clippings from swimwear catalogs... and thusly, my passion for capturing beauty and magic on film was born.
I am a passionate and heartfelt lover, a certified relationship coach, actively called a “feminist” by my closest female friends (despite my edgy and overtly sexually charged artistic style), a sensitive empath and a very non-conforming voluntarist that believes in freedom in every sense of the word, which in my opinion necessitates abandoning the idea that government has ANY sort of righteous “authority” over us whatsoever. I believe this is the only path forward toward a more loving, meaningful, restorative existence as human beings. So I advocate the casting aside of control systems wherever and however a person can, despite the costs involved in leaving the familiar behind. This is my life’s work along with creating a legacy of art that touches hearts, minds and souls. “Terra Incognita” is tattooed proudly on my arm amidst a collage of travel symbolism and mysterious maps. This is Latin for “unknown land”. Onward.
As Adventure Lion (but mostly as Taylor Mesplé) I have recorded on over 2500 songs and have performed and/or recorded with most of my very favorite musicians in this world, including some very big stars and childhood heroes. I spend my time creating music, photographs, videos, films, memories, romances and friendships. Since 2017 I live on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA and I love to travel far and wide in search of moving stories, vibrant people, fast cars and motorcycles and open roads to drive them on… and new ADVENTURES of course…. but also fine food, red wine, top shelf tequila, dark roast coffee and dark chocolate.
I am not ashamed of the fact that I simply LOVE being surrounded by vibrant models. There is a dancing pole in my recording studio for a reason. Models and friends often come here (and often stay here) to experience my house/studio as a LAUNCH PAD for their self actualization, creativity and (brave) evolution. I am known for driving models to other modeling engagements and serving as a bodyguard as well as chauffeur, I love to see them shine in a safe environment and I love to play a role in this. And yes, I adore the memorable personal time I get to share with them as a result and I realize how lucky I am to enjoy this. I shoot very explicit content beyond what I can display here as well as much milder content that is artistically deep. My studio is an other-worldly portal of sorts... a playground... and I love to delight the senses of friends and business contacts by playing host. I love my life in a very deep and passionate way. Thank you for letting me share it with you.
