About the Item

Summer of '55, photographed by Tyler Shields, 2015. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. Tyler Shields' photographic style is characterized by bold, cinematic visuals that often resemble stills from a film. He shoots primarily on film, favoring its raw texture and natural imperfections over polished digital edits. His images are known for their vivid colors, stark contrasts, and meticulously controlled compositions. A hallmark of Shields’ work is provocation—he frequently uses shocking or controversial elements such as fire, blood, nudity, or the destruction of luxury goods to challenge viewers and critique celebrity culture, consumerism, and excess. Beauty and danger often coexist in his imagery, where high fashion collides with chaos. Shields also employs repetition of motifs—legs paired with luxury cars, burning designer items, and vintage Americana—to create a strong visual identity. Every detail in his compositions is deliberate, from lighting and props to the precise positioning of his subjects, contributing to the striking, often unsettling impact of his work. 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.
