Love Kills
So I have been working on this Kill series for the new gallery and this was one of the toughest shoots to pull off I don’t normally tell how I do them but this one I want to share just a little bit with you. So I came up with this idea so first thing we went out and got a fake heart and that did not work it just did not look real so next I got a pigs heart which can be used in humans but something about it just did not sit right with me, so finally I was able to get a real human Heart yes this is a real heart I can not say where I got it how much I paid for it or anything like that, but what I will say is that this heart would not have ever been used to save someone it could have never been used for anything other then this so do not think I took this from someone who could have used it, it was well passed that point!
This is the new Love Kills photo feel free to put it on your pages!
Ever been heartbroken?
Ever been cheated on?

October 8th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
That photograph is going to mean a bunch to any one that has been in a love hate relationship
October 8th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Never been cheated on but if I did that asshole would get a dagger just like that stabbed through him like a kitchen knife lol
October 8th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
RAW.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Wow. Speechless
October 8th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Love does kill sometimes. I’m glad you posted a cute couples pic before this one to level things out Tyler
October 8th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Dude your art photography has so many different meanings it’s really cool. How in the world do you come up with the idea’s for this stuff..and how in the fuck did you obtain a human art..a morgue? That’s rad.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
PIGS HEARTS, HUMAN HEARTS? WTF
October 8th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Crazy shot Ty!
Yes I have been cheated on..
Yes I have been heartbroken..

October 8th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Very inspiring..to all my future ex boyfriends..FUCK OFF. Thanks Tyler XOXO
October 8th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Soooo many things come to mind when I see this. The obvious gore of it and then the meaning and what it means to me with past experiences. Great job!
October 8th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Holy fuck man – I’m not even gonna ask. Just smile and enjoy.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Damn Tyler you are doing some explicit pieces these days, whats your recent inspiration?
October 8th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
LOVE DOES KILL. But it also saves sometimes.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Tyler that’s disgusting and amazing
Um, new tattoo idea. I had a drawing of a heart and a dagger that said love kills..but it doesn’t look as good as that. You’re amazing.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
This makes me want to murder all of my ex cheater gf’s ahahaaaaaaaa
Watch out you know who you are ;(
October 8th, 2008 at 1:25 pm

October 8th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I must say again…….RAW.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Love is totally fucked. I have been lied to, cheated on, betrayed, hurt, lied to, abused, and left. This photo is my life.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
wow.
thats pretty much all i can say! haha
and love killed me
i havent been the same since my first and only love cheated on me 3 years ago
great message! xoxo
October 8th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Hi Ty
I really cant explain it in words, but I am flooded with so many thoughts and words in my heads, and memories, racing thoughts almost..I am also accompanied by a feeling of emptiness and agreement, then there is that little flicker of hope, for that fairy tale- is it real? did it ever exist? was that “love” I expereinced in that relationship or just infatuation..dellusion..hope? I have been cheated on and it literally feels like a knife in the heart- you definitely caputred that
October 8th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
yeah love kills
i love this photo
this is my heart out there
October 8th, 2008 at 1:56 pm

October 8th, 2008 at 2:11 pm

October 8th, 2008 at 2:18 pm

October 8th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Lol. Sorry Tyler, I will store that secret back in the bank vault and act like it never slipped.
October 8th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Ever been heartbroken? Yes
Ever been cheated on? Yes
I think this is an amazing photo! Can’t wait to see what Kill photo you do next.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Now that’s a wicked-crazy shot, Tyler. As far as I know, I’ve never been cheated on, and I like to think if I was, alarm bells would go off in my head.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
ahhh! who are you shooting from twilight!? i must know. kristen stewart would be excellent, but robert too.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
i cant say just yet!
October 8th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
wowwww was it weird working with a real human heart? did you have to touch it?!
October 8th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
This photo is so fun!
Nope never been cheated on and never been heartbroken.
Up to this point in my life both those things have been virtually impossible haha
October 8th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Wow, Tyler!!! Well done!! You never cease to amaze me!
October 8th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I think it’s a pretty pic, but knowing it’s an actual human heart is what really interests me.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I LOVE IT!!!!!! Yes I have been cheated on and my heart was shattered into a BILLION pieces, but what does not kill you, only makes you stronger. TYLER, YOU’RE AWESOME!!!!!
Sincerely,
~Victoria~
October 8th, 2008 at 6:23 pm

October 8th, 2008 at 7:22 pm

October 8th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
You’re giving Damian Hearst a major run for his money!
I like it a lot
p.s. to anyone who’s reading this: don’t cross Tyler Shields or he will rip your heart out and use it as art:D
October 8th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Wow Tyler, that’s INTENSE. Fucking amazing.
October 8th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
that is such an intense shot
October 8th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Ahh heartbreak… Been there done that.
My fiancee moved to MN, and I was to follow. But he left me the day before my interview to get into college down there. So I canceled it.
Funny thing is now that I’m finally over him, he’s trying to get me to marry him again, and follow him around being his little army wife when he gets outta basic… Yea thats gonna happen, the soldier and the hippie. YEA RIGHT!
October 8th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
That photo is simply amazing Tyler! So much emotion behind it….
October 8th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Fuck yeah it kills..shit is deadly.
October 8th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
WOW! THAT NOW THAT IS ART.VERY DYNAMIC. THIS PHOTO SPEAKES VOLUMES.
October 8th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Dude,
That is sick, disgusting, so fucking cool.
October 8th, 2008 at 8:58 pm

October 9th, 2008 at 3:38 am

how are you?
October 9th, 2008 at 3:41 am
Uck, I knew i misplaced that thing…
Tyler, why’d you have to go and put a knife through it? Now its more useless then before :]]]
October 9th, 2008 at 3:41 am
I love the whole Kill series but this photo is absolutely amazing! Makes it even more intense to know it’s a real human heart. I agree that love kills but luckily it’s a death you can come back from and like someone has already said, love can also save you. Okay, that sounded alot less cheesy in my mind…lol
October 9th, 2008 at 3:44 am
That’s a pretty exquisite photo. I like the contrast of the smooth dagger against the texture in the background. whatta doing up tyler?
October 9th, 2008 at 3:49 am
it was crazy sandy i had no internet no phone nothing!
October 9th, 2008 at 3:49 am

Mwuuuaaaa
October 9th, 2008 at 4:10 am
hahaha indeed!!!!!!!!!!
October 9th, 2008 at 4:58 am
Tyler, I knew you had vision when I first discovered your work. This is cutting edge, fearless and gripping photography. Love is not what it used to be and the photo portrays how destructive it can be to trust the wrong person with your heart. My bet is… many can relate to it. XOXO Barbara.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:01 am
it’s poetry
October 9th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Bad ass!
October 9th, 2008 at 10:06 am
wow that is amazing Barbara
October 9th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Love is like a boat. It starts sinking from the day you get it whether fast or slow.
October 10th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
WOW…that photo is amazing and so intense…it definitely is up there with Sleep is the Enemy (my fav)….hope you’re doing good….xox
October 11th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
So true!
October 17th, 2008 at 1:53 am
All I can say is OJ moment
