Taylor's first film was as a clapper boy on The Young Mr. Pitt (1942). That same year he entered the Merchant Navy.[4] After the end of the Second World War returned to the film industry. He became a camera operator and went on to become a director of photography, winning an Oscar for Gandhi (1982).
