Tyler Shields
High Heels, This is not a reflection, Fine Art Photography

2000-2020

About the Item

High Heels juxtaposed with the typical red sole, photographed by Tyler Shields. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This Tyler Shields photograph, titled High Heels: This is Not a Reflection, is a visually striking and conceptually intriguing fashion image that plays with illusion, symmetry, and balance. The composition features a pair of sleek black high heels with the signature red soles of Christian Louboutin, positioned in a way that creates a mirrored effect, though it is not a reflection at all. The legs, clad in sheer black stockings, add an element of sensuality and elegance, contrasting against the crisp white background. The way the heels are balanced on top of one another creates an optical illusion, making the viewer momentarily question whether they are seeing a reflection, a digitally manipulated composition, or a carefully staged physical arrangement. Tyler Shields, known for his bold and provocative approach to fashion and fine art photography, frequently challenges perception, materialism, and luxury culture in his work. In this case, the sharp lines, high contrast, and perfect symmetry make the image not just an advertisement for high fashion but also a statement on illusion and perspective—forcing the viewer to look twice and reconsider what they are seeing. The juxtaposition of reality and illusion aligns with Shields’ signature aesthetic, where fashion meets high-concept artistry. The black-and-red palette also evokes a sense of power, dominance, and seduction, which are often associated with high heels and their role in fashion and femininity. Hailed as “the Andy Warhol of his generation” by Sotheby’s, TYLER SHIELDS is a celebrated fine art photographer renowned for his daring and provocative images. Originally a world-champion inline skater, Shields brought his relentless drive to photography, soon becoming one of the youngest artists featured at Sotheby’s. His work has been showcased in prominent galleries worldwide, from Los Angeles to London, and he has collaborated with major brands including Armani and Adidas. Known for pushing boundaries, his shoots often involve high-risk setups, from models holding flaming luxury items to posing with live lions—each shot crafted with his signature intensity and vision.

NO.8
Located in New York, NY
A fan of photography since her early childhood, Mizrakli graduated from Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Interior Decoration Department, and continued her higher education in London, where she started out her work as a photographer. Later on, she moved to New York to further develop her career as a photographer and enrolled in classes at the Photography Department of the New York Film Academy. She received a Master’s Degree in photography in Los Angeles, where she is currently based. Mizrakli has conducted many shooting sessions for Mica Studios and Bullet Magazine in New York and had two solo exhibitions in Los Angeles. She has recently participated in the Contemporary Istanbul Exhibition (November 2013). In some of her black and white works she uses the human body only as a pictorial sign in order to create almost abstract works. First made anonymous, the female model is then cloned and circularly multiplied. The result is a kind of wheel in which the repeated human body gives birth to a new, seemingly vegetal or mineral structure. Thus, the human element seems to be transformed into different other natural...
