About the Item

Torpedo, a person deep diving into the water, black and white, 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. "Torpedo" by Tyler Shields is a striking black-and-white underwater photograph. It captures a male figure—nude and streamlined—caught mid-dive as he glides through the water like a torpedo. His body is extended in a graceful, horizontal posture with arms stretched forward, legs trailing behind, and a burst of bubbles following his descent. 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.

All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. The sun reflects the soft water riples on a Model's nude chest. The lower half of her face is visible underwater, the upper half is hidden behind the reflections of her own body on the underside of the water's surface. The soft waves create texture throughout the whole image. The soft black and grey shades make the image appear almost abstract at first sight, inviting the viewer to step closer and explore.
