Generational Confluence III ✨
On view this June at Carnegie Art Center
Father and son photographers James Wesley Taylor and Wes Taylor return for their third collaborative exhibition—bridging generations through light, lens, and legacy.

James blends mythology, spirituality, and personal identity in vivid, emotionally rich digital imagery. Through his fine art work and Digital Alchemy Photography, he captures bold, symbolic portraits that explore vulnerability and transformation. Wes brings decades of commercial, editorial, and fine art experience to the gallery wall. With a background in professional photography and teaching, his experimental approach draws from a deep well of technique and curiosity.
Together, their work speaks across time—offering a powerful visual dialogue between father and
son, tradition and innovation.
