Week 1: Entry 1: Tyler Shields




While searching for photos and videos I came upon a California based photographer named Tyler Shields. I recently heard his name on the news after a controversial photo shoot with celebrity Lindsay Lohan surfaced. The photos showcased his mentality as a photographer and as a viewer it’s always refreshing to witness something out of the ordinary. Shields photos can’t be pinpointed to one category, they all are so unique and meaningful.

I chose to display three photos that I was very intrigued by, my favorite has to be the “Toxic-Waste” photo. This photo is humorous considering the fact that the toxic waste is being taken from McDonalds. The second photo is the "Collision" picture, which is very distinctive, the image is very creative and collides beautifully. The last photo is the “Lindsay Lohan” photo, considering her reputation in the media, it makes the picture so much more interesting. Shields as a photographer is remarkable and the images he projects never get dull. There are hours of photos and videos on his site and you can view them by clicking here.
