'Life isn't posed, your photos shouldn't be either.'
Hi, welcome to my world.
I’m Lee Taylor, the guy behind the camera.
Hello I'm Lee, I am a husband and father. I'm married to my wife Katie and have two sons. I live in the sunniest town in mainland England, Bognor Regis and have done all of my life. I have a real passion for capturing life’s true moments, 1981photographer was built on a passion for honest, candid imagery. I believe photographs should tell your authentic story, emphasizing warmth and genuine interactions over posed shots.

My now fiancé planned a photo shoot for us and our little boy, little did I know he planned on proposing 🤍 Lee captured everything perfectly, we’ll cherish these photos forever. We cannot wait to have you as our wedding photographer 🥰

We had Lee to photograph our CP yesterday after seeing him work at a friend's CP last autumn. Very professional, friendly and unobtrusive! Does whatever you want him to do in a calm and professional way, and takes natural photos! Totally recommend!

I have worked with a fair few event photographers over the years, and I have to say that 1981 Photographer is among the very best of them.
Lee takes this incredibly imaginative and integrated approach that captures those special moments, while also drawing together a colourful narrative. He is also able to pull together all aspects of your event as it takes place, so the end result gives you this lovely burst of all the cool stuff you might have otherwise missed. I have nothing but positive things to say.
It is also astonishing that even though Lee was wearing a bright pink t-shirt at our event, he became almost invisible while he was capturing the day. I don’t know how he does it.
We made an investment in Lee for Apulstock ‘25 and it made all the difference to our event. I am genuinely looking forward to working with him again, and sincerely hope that our creative partnership will continue for many years to come.
