The Amazing Taryn Manning by Tyler Shields
So I photographed Taryn Manning A little while ago for M.F. magazine and I have nothing but good things to say she was a super sweet girl and very smart we were down shooting in a horrible basement with no lights and she was all about it. Anyone who is down for that is ok in my book. You can see Taryn Manning in 8 mile,hustle and flow,Crazy/Beautiful, and that britney spears movie crossroads i think it was called It seems that she has about 5 movies coming out http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0543383/ check her out here and there are more photos of her in my editorial section. ![]()
whats your favorite movie she was in i would say Crazy/Beautiful
thanks to marnie at diesel

i seriously am sooo jealous of your photography
i love taking pictures but i’m pretty sure i can never get to your level.
and that picture of Taryn Manning issooo amazing and i was also wondering if you choose out what they wear too because i absolutly love the style.
October 9th, 2006 at 5:23 pm
i love this photo. the lighting is amazing. its all focused on her, and her facial expression is perfect. its completely amazing, and gives off the feeling of trashy, yet classy…i almost think of the character marla singer from FIGHTCLUB. Incredible Tyler! like always :]
October 9th, 2006 at 5:24 pm

October 9th, 2006 at 5:51 pm
thats awesome thank you

October 9th, 2006 at 6:03 pm
i had to take a second look at it. and on top of the lighting,. the background really gives this photo a really cool feel. the wall and the door. the light is so harsh too. sometimes that can be bad, but in this photo, it really worked with you. great job.
October 9th, 2006 at 6:05 pm
thats awesome thank you
October 9th, 2006 at 8:31 pm
Excellent textures. Love the plumbing pipes peeking into the image, which adds to the mystery of the facial expression and the context along with the door. http://www.myspace.com/radioroxanne
October 9th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
hey, great use of light!… love the feel i get during the initial 2 seconds of looking at this photo.
Love the scenery and the hot purple jacket. that generally wouldnt work for most people.
Great work as per usual tyler.
cheers
October 9th, 2006 at 9:39 pm

propagandaadverts. have me thinking of spys. A sexy and surreptitious double agent. A real Mata Hari (and I do so love Garbo). As usual: exceptionally dramatic lighting.(sorry the last comment was truncated)

Shes a really good actress.
October 9th, 2006 at 11:12 pm

October 9th, 2006 at 11:22 pm
honestly, i think she`s not even pretty, but here she looks completely amazing.
nice lights and her expression is quite interesting.
October 9th, 2006 at 11:26 pm
What is this picture suppose to be portraying, It doesnt matter “who” is in the photo but the meaning that it should be portraying…
October 9th, 2006 at 11:34 pm
if a picture’s worth a thousand words, this one’s worth a billion. nice work tyler.
October 9th, 2006 at 11:37 pm
Its beautiful, that door adds a lot of expression too.
October 9th, 2006 at 11:41 pm
I really like this 1 Tyler
October 9th, 2006 at 11:57 pm
i like how the purple shirt contrasts with the background. She is a beautiful woman
October 10th, 2006 at 12:30 am
basically crazy/beautiful is my favorite movie and taryn is one of my top five fav actresses…right next to sienna miller, she would do well in your photographs. good choise, im a fan for sure
October 10th, 2006 at 12:45 am
i dig it.
she’s pretty cool. x
October 10th, 2006 at 12:49 am
i can hardly believe you got to photograph THE taryn manning.
Boomkat for life!
she looks gorgeous, as always.
But your photography is magnificent.
October 10th, 2006 at 2:45 am
thanks julia
October 10th, 2006 at 3:04 am
Ok shes really annoying…has no one else noticed.
Didnt she do Gap adds like 4 years ago? They were really tacky and she had like a star next to her eye and everyone thought it was SO cool. But please go watch cross roads and come back and tell me shes a good actress.
But why waste time on silly things like that, at least shes attractive.
October 10th, 2006 at 7:48 am
i really like this one. and i just wanted to let you know how amazingly brilliant i think you are. you constantly inspire me with your photographs.i am very passionate about photography and i only hope i can be half as amazing as you are.
hahaha just thought i would let you know that.
October 10th, 2006 at 10:17 am
thank you so much holly you just have to keep doing it
October 10th, 2006 at 11:17 am
Wonderful, sort of mysterious….love the georgeous girl, the color of her coat against the marred, scratched, dark, rough backgroud. You wonder… what is this girl doing in a place like this? The lighting is great, she is the center and is totally unlike the place she is in. I love the contrast and of course the shadows. Colors are great. Not overdone.
A lot of your photos have a sadness about them. Love it.
October 10th, 2006 at 11:17 am
you’ve never taken a bad picture, tyler. honestly. atleast for me anyways. keep it up.
October 10th, 2006 at 11:34 am
shes beautiful. good job
you still have to show me those pictures from the modern house photo shoot.
