Taggart’s work captures the essence of 1970s and ‘80s Los Angeles. His portraits of models, musicians, and actors immerse viewers in the era’s unique atmosphere, reflecting not just fashion and lifestyle but also architecture, design, commercial culture and street life. Other works document LA’s iconic locations, from the Sunset Strip to unassuming big-box stores, creating a vivid tableau where past and present collide. Straddling the line between idealized and documentary, Taggart’s work offers a rich, transportive glimpse into a nowvanished era of the city.
