Simon Taplin
London - photographers
Simon Taplin has been photographing professionally for the past 18 years. “I have always been motivated by the present and capturing it meaningfully," he says. "As a creative, I see myself in a constant process of exploration. Photography is my choice of medium; experimenting with both new and old technologies has created some of my most appreciated work, and sometimes as the result of happy accident!”
Simon has always been non-conformist with the style and concept of the work he produces. Over recent years, he has worked for numerous international agencies and clients including JWT, Saatchi & Saatchi, Leo Burnett, BBDO and Corbis. His clients’ list includes Unilever, P&G, Nokia, Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, MasterCard and Heineken. His industry awards list includes recognition from D&AD, The One Show, Communication Arts, and his work has been published in both Archive and PDN.
Over the past decade, Simon has divided much of his time between Asia and Europe, Singapore being an ideal steppingstone to create in both markets. Shooting internationally keeps Simon’s concepts and style fresh, and in tune visually with today's global living.
