Black and White
Black and white has always been at the core of Tyler Shields’ practice. Stripped of color, each image leans into contrast, composition, and the tension between light and shadow. Shot entirely on film, these works carry a depth that feels both immediate and timeless. What remains is the essence of the moment, sharp, deliberate, and impossible to ignore.
