In Tyler Shields' striking photograph "Hermes Cigarette," a captivating narrative unfolds against a backdrop of profound darkness. Amidst the void of the black background, a sense of mystery and intrigue envelops the scene as a young woman is captured indulging in a cigarette from an Hermes cigarette box. The stark contrast between the vibrant luxury of the Hermes brand and the somber depths of the blackness creates a mesmerizing tension, drawing viewers into a world where opulence meets obscurity. Against this chiaroscuro backdrop, the act of smoking takes on an enigmatic allure, inviting contemplation on the intersection of indulgence and rebellion. Through Shields' lens, the cigarette becomes a symbol of both decadence and defiance, challenging viewers to confront their own perceptions of beauty and vice. 
Hermes Cigarette is available for purchase at Guy Hepner.
