About the Item

Los Angeles-based photographer Tyler Shields seeks “beauty in chaos,” capturing both young models and celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton. His polished editorial images and surrealistic portraits contain a penchant for explosive color and violent overtones. For the series “Chromatic” (2012), Shields gave models bags of colored powder and then pitted them against each other to create a vibrant war in rainbow hues. Always high energy and full of life, the photographs act as windows into a more glamorous world. PROVOCATEUR series by Tyler Shields Available Sizes: 22.5 x 30 inches - edition of 3 30 x 40 inches - edition of 3 45 x 60 inches - edition of 3 56 x 72 inches - edition of 3 Chromogenic Print Kodak Endura Luster Paper Mounted and Framed. Ask us for framing options. Tyler Shields (American, b.1982) is photographer, film director, and writer, best known for his images of Hollywood celebrities. Born in Jacksonville, FL, Shields began his career as a professional inline skater, competing in the 1999 and 2000 X Games, and touring with Tony Hawk in 2003. He got his start as a photographer by releasing his images and videos on MySpace, and soon afterward, began doing gallery shows. Known for his controversial and violent images, and frequently drawing criticism from animal rights activists and women’s groups, his photographs capture much of the most over-the-top, brutal aspects of contemporary celebrity culture. Sometimes described as a "celebrity shock photographer," Shields’s pictures include an image of Lindsay Lohan, depicted against a blood-spattered backdrop, holding a knife to her own throat. In addition to his Fine Art photographs, he has shot campaigns for brands like Nike, Adidas, Playboy, Harley Davidson, and Gergé Swiss watches, among others. In 2014, he completed his first feature-length film, Final Girl, and also published books, including Smartest Man and The Dirty Side of Glamour. The artist lives and works in Los Angeles.

  • Tyler Shields - Hat Tu (SILHOUETTE series) - Photography
    By Tyler Shields
    Located in New York City, NY
    This is one of most fun series I’ve ever made, and it’s not without its challenges, I worked for months testing the exact camera, film, and light combination to create a texture and image that I had never seen before, using a Hassablad and Ilford film I found a tone I had dreamed of for months of quarantine. I’ve spent the majority of my photography career avoiding harsh shadows in an image, but the series changed all that it was no longer about avoiding the darkness but creating it, telling a story from a graphical view, allowing only shadows and lines to create the narrative, a new step for me, but one I’ve fallen in love with. This series has made me think differently...
