Actor Taylor Foster, the 436th redhead photographed for the Redhead Project in July 2018.
“The redhead project is, to me, a collaboration of humans that happen to share one similar rare quality they didn’t choose. But it’s to show that they are so much more than that. As all humans are."
Taylor describes how Keith captured her Taylor's first love —dancing: “Putting myself in a tutu and throwing a tap shoe on and my messy bun and a weird face— that’s like an accurate representation of what I felt like in ballet class—out of my element , but you’re still going to look at me.”
Aside from acting, Taylor is also passionate about fostering dogs, and eating healthy.
During the pandemic, Taylor collaborated with and helped Keith test shoot with the remote shooting app CLOS, inspiring the launch of a virtual offshoot of The Redhead Project that includes redheads wherever they are in the world.
Taylor proposed a friend’s Los Angeles home with old Hollywood vibes that offered multiple rooms and outdoor spaces and pools of natural light. Taylor’s friend Nik was Keith’s tripod, his peripheral vision and tour guide through their CLOS app connection, panning the iPhone to show the space’s versatility. As inspiration struck, Keith shot multiple scenes inside and out. Keith gave verbal cues to Nik, who relayed them to Taylor; meanwhile, Keith was processing what he was seeing, remembering what he couldn’t see, and anticipating and trouble shooting ahead of time to relay more cues.
Taylor's raft image wearing the eye mask was one of five images of Keith’s selected for Lürzers Archive Best Advertising Photographers 23/24.
