Paint by Tyler Shields explores the raw relationship between movement and color captured through multiple shots. All shot with a vintage camera, and with no enhancements, the goal of the shoot was to capture the natural energy of color. Shields shares on his creative process, “When I started this series I knew I wanted the entire series to be shot on the same camera with the same film and all be 6 by 6 which is a square crop so I used a vintage Hasselblad to make the entire series, a lot of people have asked if the colors have been enhanced, when you get the right film the right scan and the right light this is exactly how it comes out.

”The unique aspect of this particular collection is the unplanned characteristic of each shot. While the colors, lighting, and model can all be intentional choices, ultimately the drip of the paint is unplanned with each shot. The Paint Collection has allowed Shields to let his photographs speak for themselves, each one being a colorful surprise.
