Unbelievably versatile and endlessly fascinating, Tyler went from “bad boy of photography” to “Hollywood’s favorite photographer” through his unconventional antics and rebellious state of mind. Did he destroy a $100,000 Birkin Bag and a blood stained series with Lindsay Lohan? Of course he did, and there’s no way he would have become such an iconic rule breaker if he hadn’t. But he doesn’t aim to do celebrity photography, he aims to make images and make art. As he calls himself a contemporary artist and film maker, he experiments with many mediums in order to explore dark romance and exposure of the human self. He knows his worth and his power, and uses his standing in order to make something provocative and to make something long-lasting. I could not possibly say enough about my love for his work and his attitude towards art.
