Tyler Shields is an exciting young photographer, director and writer from Los Angeles whose work is humorous, super-sexy, thought-provoking and often contains a biting critique on today's consumer-culture.
Shields recently gathered a lot of attention on-line with his video Silver Shadow in which he destroys a vintage Rolls Royce.
