Most of my best shots come from places where I had to bushwhack to get there. While the easy-access viewpoints are beautiful, I'm the guy who keeps walking when the trail ends, looking for that angle that transforms a familiar landscape into something that makes people pause. It's about the adventure as much as the photography—and that energy comes through in images that feel alive, not static.
My Approach
The Pacific Northwest has been photographed to death. Drive to any scenic overlook and you'll find a dozen identical shots on Instagram by sunset. That's not what interests me.
What interests me is the view from a quarter mile further. The wildlife behavior that happens when you're patient enough to wait past the obvious moment. The flora that only thrives in specific microclimates most people walk right by. I'm drawn to the uncommon perspective—not because it's different, but because it's truer to what this region actually offers when you take time to look deeper.
This approach requires knowing the landscape intimately. Understanding where light hits at different times of year. Recognizing animal patterns and seasonal changes. Coming back to locations repeatedly, not just once for the obvious shot. It means more time in the field and fewer frames taken, but what comes out of that process has substance.
For clients, this translates to imagery that doesn't fade into the background of every other Pacific Northwest photo they've seen. It means photography that has a point of view. Whether it's commissioned work for your business or a fine art print for your space, you're getting something that holds up beyond the initial impact—because it showed you something you hadn't seen before.
What Clients Say
"We needed something specific for our lobby renovation—PNW landscapes that didn't look like every other office in the region. Andy found angles I didn't even know existed. The Columbia River piece we commissioned gets more comments than anything else in the building."
"Bought a print through Charles Francis gallery last year. Still can't believe how much detail is in it—you can see individual pine needles. My wife keeps saying we need more wall space because she wants another one."
"We rotate Andy's work quarterly in our medical office. Patients and staff actually notice when new pieces go up—last quarter someone asked if we could bring back 'the autumn Columbia River shot' because they missed it. Keeps the space fresh without any hassle on our end."
Growing up in the Tri-Cities means you know where everyone else goes to shoot the sunrise. You know the overlooks, the popular trails, the spots where twenty photographers will set up tripods on a clear morning. That local knowledge is exactly what drives me to find somewhere else.
I'm Andrew Taylor—Andy—and I've been photographing the Pacific Northwest's landscape and wildlife for years, always looking for the angle that hasn't been done. The ridge just past where the trail ends. The canyon view from the opposite side. The moment before or after everyone else presses the shutter. It's not about being different for its own sake. It's about showing people what they've been missing.
I named the business after my three dogs—they're a daily reminder of why wildlife and the natural world matter. That connection to animals is what pulls me into the field in the first place, looking for those moments when flora and fauna reveal something most people never witness.
My work has been exhibited at Charles Francis Studio Fine Art gallery in downtown Kennewick, where it's shown alongside established photographers and painters of the region. That gallery experience taught me a lot about what makes an image work on a wall—not just technically good, but something people want to live with.
These days I focus on commissioned photography for businesses and new establishments looking for compelling regional imagery, fine art prints available through Charles Francis Studio, and licensing from my existing stock. Whether you need photography for a specific project or you're looking for Pacific Northwest imagery that doesn't look like everything else out there, that's what I do.
The goal isn't to capture what everyone's already seen. It's to show you what's been here all along.
