About this work
Tyler Shields has often referred to his process as an artist as, “finding a way to create a fantasy and let imagination take over.” This sentiment is especially true in his series Fairytale where he combines reality and fantasy. Oftentimes viewers look at these ethereal pieces and fall under the assumption that Photoshop or special effects have been applied, yet Shields makes it a point to create every scene from scratch.

About the Fairytale Series
Tyler Shields' Fairytale series represents a compelling exploration of narrative and visual storytelling through contemporary photography. Known for his provocative approach to conceptual imagery, Shields reimagines classical fairytale themes with a distinctly modern sensibility, blending staged photography with sophisticated post-production techniques.
This series demonstrates Shields' signature style—dramatic lighting, meticulous composition, and psychologically charged subject matter that challenges conventional interpretations of familiar narratives. Rather than presenting saccharine versions of well-known tales, the work introduces darker undertones and unexpected perspectives that resonate with contemporary audiences seeking depth and complexity.
The Fairytale series has garnered significant collector interest, reflecting the broader market appreciation for conceptual photography that merges fine art with commercial polish. Shields' work consistently commands strong demand among galleries and private collectors worldwide.
Each piece in this series offers a distinctive entry point into Shields' artistic practice, making it accessible for both established collectors and those newly engaging with his vision. Available pieces from the Fairytale series are available for purchase. Contact our gallery to enquire about current availability and pricing.
About Tyler Shields
Tyler Shields was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and began his creative career as a professional inline skater, competing in the X Games and touring with Tony Hawk before shifting his focus to photography. His early photographs gained attention online, and a chance viral image helped launch his career as a photographer working within the Hollywood entertainment world.
Shields is known for bold, provocative photography that blends glamour with elements of tension, danger, and destruction, often incorporating rich color, dramatic lighting, and meticulously staged scenes. His work frequently explores contrasts between beauty and chaos, using striking visual concepts, from vivid color explosions to scenes built around luxury objects, to create images that are both polished and unsettling. He has photographed a wide range of actors and public figures throughout his career, always aiming for a cinematic, tightly composed final image captured in camera rather than through digital manipulation.
Beyond photography, Shields has worked as a filmmaker, screenwriter, and author, publishing both photography books and fiction. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private and public collections, and he continues to be based in Los Angeles.
