In an earlier blog I posted a photograph by the famous photographer Tyler Shields and I thought I should talk about him a bit more. While surfing the internet; looking for pictures of the Glee cast I discovered Tyler Shields, a photographer/artist based in L.A.
He got his start directing music videos then began photography. Tyler is known for his work with Video portraits and his photography work in the art and celebrity form. He is currently working on his new book The Dirty Side of Glamor.
In my opinion his photography is edgy, sexy, provocative, bizarre and beautiful all rolled into one! One day I dream to be photographed by this guy who has photographed numerous famous and not so well known people, such as his best friend Zachery Quinto, Glee-star Dianna Argon, Sean Farris, Hayden Panettiere and most controversially Lindsey Lohan.
Tyler Shields is also known for his controversial photography and projects such as staging a fake shoot out at one of his galley showings, trying to break the record for the staying awake the longest and making a painting out of blood for example. Photographs by him usually involve tons of fake blood, glitter, superheroes, Disney characters and overall craziness. It's amazing! <3Just check it out! (http://www.tylershields.com/)
Here are so samples of his photographs and quotes:
"You will never see yourself the way the person who loves you sees you."
"Don’t waste time sleeping when you’re young. There will be plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead."
"No matter how much you worry about the future its going to happen. So let it."
(Disclaimer: Yeah, clearly I don’t own anything of Tyler Shields.)
