Sam Taylor Johnson- Sequence of Decay
Sam Taylor-Johnson was born in Croydon on 4th of March. She has had cancer twice. Once in December 1997, at age 30, she was treated for colon cancer and again in 2000, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was married in 1997 with 2 daughters but later in September divorced.
Johnson began working in photography, film, and video in the early 1990s, but she was originally a sculptor which she studied at the Goldsmith University Of London, only after getting her degree she decided to move onto photography. In 2001 she did a still life project, where she took pictures of fruit decaying overtime, along with one of a rabbits corpus decaying. She had her first solo expedition in 1994 at the Showroom in London.
In August 2008 Johnson was chosen to direct Nowhere boy a movie about the childhood of The Beatles' singer, John Lennon. When asked about her experience directing the film, in an interview in September 2010, Taylor-Johnson said,
"I thought, I'm in too deep and if I mess this up I'm just never gonna make a film again, and I went into a panic. I got into the car and said, I just have to call these producers and pull out. I got into the car and I put the key into the ignition and Lennon's voice came straight out of the radio and it was the song Starting over. It was one of those moments where I thought it was a sign: OK I'm gonna do it."
