WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
JOHN WARD
Senior VP, AT&T Entertainment Group
TaylorVision has been one of the constants in my career – from our first meeting at Super Bowl XXXIII for FOX SPORTS in Miami, to now at DIRECTV. Simply put – he is one of the best. You will not find an easier person to work with. He has a constant “can do” attitude and more importantly, he’s a good person. On my long list of things to do on a given day, once I get BT involved I can move on to the next item. He is a colleague, a trusted resource, and more importantly – a friend.
KATE DAVIS
Producer/Director, HBO
Bruce Taylor has a keen cinematic eye, which adds immeasurable production value to our long format HBO documentary. That he has an energetic team spirit makes on-location shooting feel like what filmmaking should be about (and rarely is).

Hiring Bruce Taylor is one of the best decisions you'll ever make. He's an exceptional DP with an impressive network of A-list resources all over the Northeast. There isn't a type of project that he can't handle from high-end multi-cam interviews to live shots and no matter how busy he may be, Bruce will always find a way to help you out.
MARK SHAPIRO
Executive VP, Production and Programming, ESPN
Bruce Taylor greatly enhanced the look and feel of ESPN's SportsCentury, contributing to a product that ultimately garnered an Emmy and Peabody Award. Taylor is among a handful of DP's that share such vision, exactitude and taste.
Working with Bruce is a reminder of how much fun this business can be. His top-tier skills and preparation ensure a flawless production. Top that with his artistry, work ethic, collaborative spirit, and commitment to success and you have the reasons why he's number one of my list. I know that when Bruce is on set, I can trust that his piece of the puzzle is handled.

ASHER TAYLOR
Even if I wasn't asked to give a testimonial for Bruce Taylor I'd still give one because I think that much of him. We've known each other for over 25 years. We worked a lot on the road together and I can't say enough great things about his work ethic and creativity. He knows what his job is and he goes ahead and does it. Whether it's shooting a show like mine or shooting a documentary, Bruce is a wonderful person to have.

I first worked with TaylorVision on various sporting events for NBC. Since that time I've worked with Bruce and his team on other projects ranging from fitness videos to sit-down interviews. I was really impressed when he worked on various women's life style content for Lifetime Television. He didn't skip a beat. He brought professionalism and creativity that is unmatched.
CHRIS BERMAN
Hall of Fame Sportscaster
I've known Bruce Taylor since the very early days of ESPN. He has not only been a valued colleague for more than 35 years, he's also been a trusted family friend. Bruce really is the best DP around. He has a great sense of humor and is completely professional in every way. What more can I say?
Bruce Taylor's passion, attention to detail, and experience are unique amongst the country's leading photojournalists. Through his 20-plus years in the field, he has seen it all and thus has translated that vision through his lens with a superior eye. His ability to chronicle stories and capture events are better than anyone I've ever worked with. He is a remarkable asset to any production team.

Bruce is not only the most talented cameraman I've ever worked with, he's also fun! He has a strong work ethic combined with a great sense of humor. The clients really like him and he keeps a smile on my face. That makes the day go by more quickly and pleasantly for everyone!

ALBERT COLON
Producer, ESPN International Promotions
Bruce is a true professional and his dedication to detail shows where it matters the most, on screen. He has been a key factor in two of our award-winning promotional campaigns.
I'll be honest. I have a real problem working with Bruce Taylor and TaylorVision. It makes working with any other crew impossible. If Bruce can be on time, on budget, and in complete control of the situation, then I start expecting everyone to be that way.

ROBERT ABBOTT
Director, Port of Destiny: Peace
Bruce Taylor and TaylorVision are the best in the business. I have worked with Bruce for almost 20 years, dating back to my time at ESPN, I have always had a great experience and left with beautiful visuals. When I had interviews with President Bill Clinton, and Prime Minister Tony Blair for a documentary I was directing, Bruce was my first choice to shoot them and he didn't let me down. Everything looked amazing. He's also just a great person to have in the room for any shoot... especially high profile ones. We're talking about working together again, on another, even better doc in 2020!
BOB MINCIELI
Director of Broadcast Operations, CBS Sports
We discovered Bruce Taylor at the start of the 2004 NFL season. Since then, BT became a fixture on the CBS Sports "go-to" list. From the stylized interview to the run and gun sideline shots, he can handle it all. With a personality that calms even the most nervous producers. I recommend him highly, but only when we're not using him.
MICHAEL KONNER
Coordinating Producer, MLB Network
Every now and again you get to work with somebody in this industry who excels in their field. BT is professional, pleasant, and makes certain that all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed before you ever go out on the shoot. He makes the assignments fun and you never have to worry about any unforeseen issues. There are very few people whom I would speak this highly about and thus that is what puts Taylorvision on the top of my list.
JOHN ENTZ
Producer, American Idol
Bruce Taylor is excellent. We'd send him to Hollywood!
Bruce Taylor is one of the most innovative Directors of Photography I have ever worked with. We've collaborated on award-winning programming such as Sportscenter, NFL Gameday and SportsCentury. As a producer of "Outside the Lines: Muhammad Ali: Still the Greatest," the 1995 Ace Award winner for best Sports Informational Special, I worked with several crews. Not only was BT my DP of choice, but he was also the Champ's favorite as well. His professionalism and dedication to excellence have enhanced all of my projects.
