Sam Taylor-Johnson was born in London in 1967. At the age of sixteen, she enrolled in an art school in Hastings, later moving back to London to attend Goldsmiths College. After graduating in 1990, she worked as a bartender and as a dresser at the Royal Opera House; the latter experience would influence her work’s unabashed theatricality. Originally a sculptor, she began working in photography, film, and video in the early 1990s.

Sam Taylor-Johnson began life as Samantha Taylor, then became Sam Taylor-Wood and now goes by her married name as stated…

She started working in photography and film in the 1990s, alongside fellow Young British Artists, Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. She exhibited at Venice Biennale 1997, winning the Illy Café Prize for Most Promising Young Artist, and receiving a Turner Prize nomination in 1998.

In 2008, Sam directed BAFTA and Palme d’Or nominated, Sundance-winning short film, LOVE YOU MORE. She then directed her debut NOWHERE BOY (2009), a biographical drama about John Lennon’s adolescence. Nowhere Boy was nominated for four BAFTAs, including Outstanding Debut for Sam’s direction.

Taylor-Johnson broke records for the biggest opening for a female director for her adaptation of best-selling novel FIFTY SHADES OF GREY (2015). In 2017 Sam executive produced and directed the pilot episode of Netflix Original psychological thriller GYPSY starring Naomi Watts.

As an artist she has exhibited at the Guggenheim, with solo exhibitions at The Hirshhorn Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney, Museum of Contemporary Art Houston, Walker Art Center Minneapolis among many other prestigious museums.

Sam has since adapted James Frey’s A MILLION LITTLE PIECES that follows a drug- addled writers’ rehab. A Million Little Pieces stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Juliette Lewis, Odessa Young and Charlie Hunnam. Opens in theaters on December 6th and on streaming platforms the same day.

She splits her time between Los Angeles and The English countryside.
