Freedom's Greatest Enemy is Gravity



Suspense is Coming. Photos:Tyler Shields
Infamous for adorning young Hollywood stars in a manner that exposes the darkness of Hollywood; Tyler Shields has staged most of his edgy celebrity photo shoots from the comfort of a studio. But when actress Emma Roberts and longtime girlfriend Francesca Eastwood are willingly jumping off of buildings and bridges -- their bodies like ragdolls falling in the air -- not knowing what happens next.


Taking nearly a year to complete, this collection is full of gravity-defying shots that explores themes of life,freedom, death and extreme adrenaline filled moments, perfectly befitting of the title Suspense. Instead of solely being about the person in the frame, many of the photos are from afar, concerned more with the environment and landscape.The photos illicit the feeling of freedom, the greatest enemy that freedom faced.



SUSPENSE opens at the Guy Hepner Gallery, Los Angeles, 28th April.
