(b. 1982) Jacksonville, Florida.

Tyler Shields is a boundary-pushing fine art photographer known for his provocative, cinematic imagery that challenges conventions of power, fame, and desire. A former X Games champion turned visual provocateur, Shields quickly rose to prominence as the youngest living artist to be auctioned at Sotheby’s, later dubbed “the Andy Warhol of his generation.” His hyper-realistic, high-adrenaline photography has captured Hollywood’s elite—Bruce Willis, Emma Roberts, and Elon Musk, among others—in daring, surreal scenarios, from burning luxury handbags to high-speed aerial stunts. Despite early skepticism from traditional media, his work has redefined celebrity portraiture, drawing record-breaking crowds to galleries worldwide. With an insatiable drive for reinvention, Shields continues to push artistic boundaries, proving that the impossible is always within reach.
