Tyler Shields Creates Unsettling Videotography

Tyler Shields is not your run-of-the-mill photographer/director. Recently tweeted by none other than Perez Hilton, his avant garde video (shown above) is truly bizarre in nature.

While he was born in Jacksonville, Florida, Tyler Shields now resides in the bustling city of Los Angeles directing music videos and doing photography.

Be on the lookout for Shilds' upcoming book, 'The Dirty Side of Glamor.'
