"You know, you just love photography, and you love photographers..."
That's everything, right there. Thanks so much for what you do, Alex. ❤️
My pleasure!
I cannot overstate how inspiring this video, and your channel, is to me - thank you!!
I'm so glad!
Fantastic interview… and yes, I’m 62 and one of those unheard-of hungry photographers that is grateful for your inspiration and encouragement. Thanks to the both of you.
thank you so much I love all you do and thank you for having me
Oh, dude it was awesome to chat with you. Thanks so much for your time, we should totally do it again.
"Commit yourself to it!", well said, both you two, THANK YOU
Fantastic interview with Tyler. Thanks for bringing him to my attention.
Thank you Alex for bringing this forward. Never heard of Tyler Shields before but after watching this video I would classify him, as with many of the others, as an Originalist Photographer.
All I can say is Generous… What a great interview from Tyler and so generous with information and advice. This done by Alex who is so generous with his time and information.
Thank you
“It is NOW” , great response, Tyler. I feel that. Damn, trying to leave, for my errands, but I can’t stop watching this… 18:50
😂
Thanks both for giving your time up for this and the insights shared
Our pleasure!
Fascinating interview, thanks to both of you ! It made me smile when Tyler mentions critics . My wife's friend who is a renowned internet troll commented on a recent print of mine that it should be in a mortuary or funeral parlour .She was trying to irritate me but I still regard it as the most positive comments I have ever had !
I've often referred to Tylers thing about what would you change if the print was worth a million dollars its a great philosophy and a testament to his eye for detail
At first I was a bit reluctant to watch this video since it is the good part of an hour. I’m glad I found the time and did it- and I enjoyed watching every minute. Besides from being very well entertained I learned a lot, as with all of your videos. May you two be strong enough to stand the rage and hatred of others, and as Tyler even be inspired to do exactly that. That’s probably an important part for being successful and a big lesson to learn for all of us. Thanks Alex for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
I’m only 11:45 into the interview and I’m loving this interview. And I’ve been so jazzed to have found this channel!!! But I’ve got to run some errands, however couldn’t NOT comment on this great interview . I’ll watch the rest of the interview later!!!
That’s awesome, thanks for watching
This is one of the best videos I have seen on YT in years. Congratulations to both of you.
Thank you
What an incredible interview. Something I didn't expect from your channel but I love!!!
Thank you.
I really enjoyed that. I like this long form of interview and the insight into how top photographers think.
More, please.
My big takeaway here is that far less can be learned by studying an artist's body of work when compared to listening to what they have to say. Suddenly, every photography book I own is a mere CliffsNotes born out of personal interpretation; a case study in reflection. Sometimes the lesson is one of how to learn.
Fantastic work Tyler and Alex! I had go to Google Images so I could see the images you were talking about, and they're all there. Today's Pro Photographers on Reddit all proclaim 'never work for free'. I prefer the 'always work for free and let the images speak for themselves' approach. Maybe that's not practical for the average working photographer, but the rest of us can stop chasing likes and just go out and do what moves us.
Amazing and informative interview. Thank You!
This was a fascinating interview Alex. Really loved the in depth discussion 👌 A lot to take away from this one 🔥
Thank you
I actually stumbled upon Tyler Shields' YT channel before TPE. A very interesting experience, so having him in this interview is exciting!
What a fantastic interview with such an amazing photographer.
Glad you enjoyed it.
What a wonderful and insightful conversation. For years, Tyler has been the inspiration that tickles the right side of my brain while I journey through life on a scooter guided by my left brain. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful!
I have not heard of Tyler Shields. I will never take the kind of photos he takes. But I just loved this interview. And the photos were an experience. Thanks for sharing this Alex.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this video. Incredible how it kept my attention for the entire duration. Tyler Shields is amazing, and so are you Alex.
How could one not enjoy this video? Excellent interview and interesting thoughts. Absolute pleasure!!! Thanks, Alex.
Absolutely phenomenal presentation!! This guy's a true genius 👏 !!!!! Bravo Alex for showing us a pure master of his craft and art! Wow!!👊🤟
Thank you
Alex thank you. This was awesome to watch and everything which I have thus far seen of your presentations has been so motivational, insightful and truly inspiring.
Thank you for being here.
Saw a lot of Tyler's videos about his photos a couple of years ago. He's an absolute superstar photographer. So inspirational! I'm amazed that you got this interview. Such a scoop.
Thanks
One of the best interviews/discussions I've seen in a long while! ... Thanks so much to both of you! ...
Now I feel I need to go out and make a photo that I love, but that someone will really and truly hate and will tell me so and also that I'm worthless! ... That was honestly a kind of "set you free" moment in the interview.
Cheers!
Thank you for watching.
You are both greatly genuine photographers and persons. I learn so much from your videos. And Tyler is so likeable and authentic, no wonder he has so many friends
Great interview. Always inspiring your videos Alex. So much preparation for these photos. Thanks Alex and Tyler.
Our pleasure!
Excellent! This is one for the library.
Awesome
Love a long interview and you are a great interviewer Alex. 👍
Thank you
Wow, we need another interview, truly enjoyed this. Tyler's photography is some of my favorite.
Thanks for watching
Hi Alex, i really enjoyed this interview with Tyler Shields and you asked him some great questions. It's sad when photographers attack other photographers like Tyler said, i don't understand it either. I liked Tyler's photos they were really nice. I really liked the advice he gave at the end when he said photography is a Marathon not a sprint. And when Tyler said TAKE THE HATE AS A SIGN OF GROWTH, spot on. Tyler is a great passionate photographer and a great bloke. Thanks for sharing this inspirational Interview. 😃👍
Thank you for watching
@@ThePhotographicEye No worries your welcome, great guest Tyler was. 🙂
Oh this is soooo good ! I love Tyler Shields! Fantastic job Alex. That was so inspiring as usual.
Thank you.
fantastic conversation Alex- looking forward to ours ha!
You are making a difference with these videos. Thanks
Thank you
Knowing the fact that all levels of photographers go through the same problems at varied levels keeps me motivated as a beginner photographer in continuing my photography journey as well as other streams of creativity. I thought that I am going through these situations only because I am a beginner which meant that I am not good in photography yet. Knowing what to take in and what to ignore as a beginner will help us continue the journey.
This channel has helped me a lot. It's truly motivational.
Can you please do a video on 'How important is it to print out photography work?' In this digital age the process of printing feels to be very important to me as I began in digital photography.
Agree wholeheartedly with your comment about printing. When Tyler mentioned platinum palladium printing I immediately paused the video, did a quick Google search and realized how much I don't know about the world of photographic print types. It's like a whole other world that can add to the creative vision.
This is the second time I have watched this interview and my second comment on this outstanding interview, after watching this I went out and bought the The Dirty Side Of Glamor. I also follow him on Instagram.
Great, enjoyed this interview very much, thank you, Alex!
Our pleasure!
Thank you Alex! Thank you Tyler. Wonderful!
I enjoy watching your videos while I eat lunch. Sometimes, I'll watch a second video that was recommended from the first (like this one). Thanks, Alex.
Thank you
Fascinating insights into the real world of image making! Loved it!
Thank you
Loved the interview, thank you.
Thanks for watching
Awesome video, Alex.
I love it, my friend.
Antoine.
Interesting interview and the digs at Fed Torbes cracked me up!😂
Please spill the tea.
Brilliant thank you Alex, like others I’d not come across his words, but definitely will hunt it down more, most educational 👍
10:35 Amazing point!
I really enjoyed reading this interview. Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an awesome presentation this was. Genuinely inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant!
Great interview, great talent
Great interview with a great photographer! Thankyou 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude yes!! 🙏🙏 I remember commenting something a while ago about you doing a video thing like Tyler Shields, so seeing you two chat about his work is so awesome! Hands down my biggest inspiration that got me into my commercial photography career, and got me into print technician jobs because I loved his platinum palladium work so much 😊 thanks for making this interview happen!
Thank you, that’s awesome thanks for watching
There he goes! 🙏🏾
Very enjoyable!
Really like your interview and hearing how and why the photographer took their images. Well done
Thank you
It was either this or watch Oppenheimer, I'm so glad I watched this.
Excellent video. Great guest. Thanks.
Thank you
wow....this gives me a real boost! great video!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
A very inspiring video, thank you very much, super👍
Glad you liked it!
I would suggest Tyler is very intuitive in his work.
Just watched your interview with Tyler Shields not long after watching your video on William Christenberry. Like Mr. Christenberry I started taking photos with a Brownie (in 1960 at age 14) and often took photos of old buildings, billboards, etc. and I still like taking those kinds of images. So how can I relate to Tyler Shields? I have also taken some photos over the years that I set up like the simple photo of the red shoes and blue socks and liked my results even if it’s not what I normally photograph. I enjoyed both videos because they both took (take) interesting photos and are dedicated to photographing what they enjoy and cared very little about what other people thought of their work. I really enjoyed the interview and I am definitely more in the style of Mr. Christenberry and if he were still alive , I would still rather share a drink and conversation with Tyler than Mr. Christenberry.
Haha, You and Ted Forbe must be mates! Thanks Alex, I enjoy your way of showing others works... not that I necissarily remember them, but on occasions, I have gone and looked them up as I was expired. It's important to remember aspects of Photography from seing others works, azpects that are enspiring, what resonates with you. Your videos do that in spades. Cheers
Thank you
What an amazing person and artist. Great interview Alex, with so much to take home. I am always torn between the value of critique and the need to stay true to yourself and your artistic vision. Can you really balance those two or are the both totally contradicting? I would love to listen to your thoughts.
I like how he said he is always thinking about photography and the hard part is going to sleep, as I write this at 1am! Takes pictures of everything, even for free, and do it for yourself. I had a question, when he said magazines were turning him down, do people send photos to magazines to try to get work? How does one start to get work seen? Thanks
A great interview, nicely done. Shame about the unprofessional comments at the end.
As always very interesting video, thank you Alex 🙏. Tho it would have been easier for the viewer (me 😬) that you would show the photograph you are talking about while talking about it 🤷♂️😜
If I take a song and mixed the intro, bridge and chorus in fragments and mix them together in random order will it still be music?
Great video!
❤
Thanks!
Thanks for that informative interview.
As an aside, going forward I'm curious as to what role Tyler's girlfriends played in his creativity. His last gf of roughly seven years featured ever-so-prominently--many photos of her are in this interview.
I get that personal life is personal life; yet when you blend it up--creatively, personally, professionally--that's a whole new conversation on inspiration and execution. Lines can blur. How does he make it work? Does he shoot more? Less? Welcomes input? Or drives forward with a singular vision?
Are his subjects/girlfriends collaborating, jumping in, offering input? How does he build his rapport and trust in some of the sketchier moments (dangling out of a helicopter, perched on a bridge). How fun was it? How does working with a partner affect the whole process?
Lots going on in the background, that's for sure. I suspect this won't be the last interview either--that could be a whole other story. Cheers.
28:10 just saving my spot
Great interview. Very down to earth guy, Tyler Shields. I'm curious does a model who only shows here legs get only 1/2 rate? or does Tyler just have a set of fake legs ?
The pictures don’t seem to match the conversation sometimes? Is it because of RUclips restrictions?
The Dirty Side of Glamour by Tyler Shields has been ordered.
Social Media is a fussy and snarky world
I Photograph in Seattle, and I had one lady come out of the blue to pretty much say I wasn’t anything special?
I didn’t know this lady, I wasn’t sure what the heck her agenda was, but she just walks off!
You have to ignore these people and just go about your business.
Celebraties are a little bit different though They do have more money 😊
This guy is the dog's bollocks (sorry bad language) fab images!
Sotheby (and everybody else haging out in the corridors of art galleries) has an interest to call this guy the Andy Warhola of our time: it needs to project ( I quote) "the illusion of of protection that property provides (Berger J., 18, 1968). Sincerely,
A failed artist.
subtitles please🙏
It takes youtube some time to generate them. Thanks for watching
His motivation is copying famous work isnt it? The Tarantino of photography, copying peoples style without having anything real to say.
"whose" > "who's"
I love this channel and all your bits of knowledge and information. With that said I can't stand this Warhol 2.0 guy. It's ironic before I even saw the title I said to myself this guy reminds me of an Andy Warhol wannabe and I had the uncontrollable urge to throw a can of soup at him.
It must be challenging to grow up with wealth, surrounded by famous wealthy people.
I would hate to be called 'The Next Warhol' as I don't like the first one :)
Get Tyler Shields book. It's terrible and shows that his work just copies other artists with zero cohesion or narratives. New Warhol? Come on 😂
Yeah his argument that it just naturally happens kinda falls apart when you see just how uncanny the similarities are.
Also just crediting the inspiration is cool, but nearly everytime he completely claims ignorance... In which case I'd hardly doubt Hollywood's most popular photographer just isn't aware of others work
Tyler is a superficial fella that produces non-original work, who has made millions selling it. Who would pay for it, I am not sure…
Why do you have so many commercials? It's annoying.
Pay for RUclips premium and there are no commercials.
@@davidpearson3304 Why don't you restrict them? You will turn off viewers to your channel with to many commercials. Viewers will go to other channels with fewer commercials.
I listen in headphones and the commercials are often much louder, blows my ears out when I least expect it - I was getting a commercial every five minutes or so - and some you can't skip
I can’t take this guy seriously when he copies other artist’s work and claims ignorance. See Guy Bourdin, Henry Leutwyler, Sally Mann…
The only reason this guy is known is because he is obviously wealthy. Dropped out of school at 14 to travel the world speaks volumes. If others had that kind of support it would be impossible to fail. Then he states, completely demonstrating his rich mentality, “Whatever you can imagine, just do it.” Most of us don’t have an unlimited budget to use when taking photos. At the end of the day, this guy is not a photographer. A photographer is capturing reality and then trying to make it interesting. This guy is creating reality and then capturing it. He more like an artist, than a photographer. He is creating what he sees in his mind and to hell with reality. That is NOT photography. Now, that I got the jelly out of the way. His work is intriguing. But , as I said, he had advantages most do not have. I wonder how many photographers have actually become world renowned from a poverty background. I think the answer would be a big fat 0. If, I am wrong, please name a world renowned photographer that was born into poverty. I am waiting…
You obviously don’t know his backstory so I suggest you listen to other podcasts where he talks about living on a slice of pizza a day for months. He’s known coz he creates thought provoking and mesmerising imagery.
When he said "In this room I have 40 cameras," I shut it off. I have nothing to learn from someone like that. He's just another gear collector.
I mean it's pretty well documented that he just rips off other creatives work as well. I like his videos with Mike Gray but other than that he's pretty pretentious
@@nickguzman1734 , but isn't "pretentious" up there with "narcissistic" when it comes to the qualifications of an artist? I'm not using those words in a negative sense. I'm being literal. The practice of art demands pretense, selfishness, and ego. Without them, we would just keep to ourselves!
@@billmartin1663 I would agree 👍 just doesn't make for great entertainment as far as his presence on RUclips. I like when he's with Mike but not a fan of his own channel
I don't like his work at all.
It oozes negativity, depravity, darkness and often works with occult themes.
He's like the photographer version of Marina Abramovic.
No wonder hollywood loves him....
😭😭😭😭😭 ❤❤❤❤❤
