What is a Concentration?

 


TYLER SHIELDS - http://www.tylershields.com/

He is an artist based out of LA - I originally heard of him from the show Mrs.Eastwood and Company because he is dating Clint Eastwood's daughter.

I think he really likes to make statements.  He is definitely not someone who believes less is more, or is into subtly.  He is also into controversial images which I think makes really bold photographs.

Shield's work is visually coherent because for the most part it is very bold and dramatic.  He also is great at focusing on color, even in his black and whites the values and beautiful and in other images the color is so bright and sometimes obnoxious, but it is always handled well.

I see many elements and principles of art in his photographs - color (as mentioned above), and value, and definitely emphasis! He is great at making one thing in a photograph stand out...lips, a bag, shadows, etc.
