Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. Hey guys, it's Michelle Marie with Young Hollywood. We are here in downtown LA with some major security for Tyler Shields' photo exhibit presenting collisions. [Music/Sound effects]

Ladies and gentlemen! Woo! Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome! Congratulations on tonight. What a great event it is.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Tell us more about Collisions.

So Collisions are uh, a form of art that I've created using one camera with no Photoshop and no computer manipulation at all. Everything is done in the camera.

You push the envelope, you really go far with what you do.

Yeah. You know, I feel like art is a reflection of the person. And my art is definitely a reflection of me. It's a sense of controlled chaos.

I hear that you have a way with people, so you can, you can actually get them to go further than you think they would go.

Yeah.

What is it that you do? Tell me your secret.

I think, I think, uh, people feel safe around me and I've never asked anyone to do anything that I wouldn't do myself. And if someone comes to me, I can tell in a second if they're gonna get it and they're and if they're gonna, like, really be a part of it. And I love it. I love it when people come to me because it shows that they know, they have a knowledge. Like when I shot Lindsay, she had a knowledge of all of my photos. She knew intimate stories about them. She was like, I want that one for my house.

Yeah, everybody's talking about Lindsey right now and Did she have the idea or did you have it for her?

I mean, I I had all of the things there on a table. And it was a whole table of weapons. I said, "Pick whatever you want." And she did. And then, you know, she picked up the the black gun. And thank you. I you know, honestly, I think she looks great. I think that, uh, the thing is this, you know, it's shocking because she has a gun because people are afraid of guns. Well, it's not necessarily the guns that you have to worry about, it's bullets that you have to worry about. And I can assure you there are no bullets in the gun. [Sound effect]

You've shot different types of uh, scenarios. What was maybe one you could tell us about that we know of?

We did one where Tyler was blasting me in the face with a uh, hose, a high-pressure hose. He likes, uh, he likes to injure you wherever possible.

Yeah, right. How do you feel about like the way everyone's reacting to the art and what Tyler does because of Lindsey Lohan and all the photos that came out of her?

Look, it depends. I mean, like if you're gonna take pictures like this, you know, you can do it as long as you're, you know, in a healthy place and they're just pictures. When when you're doing it to prove something or you're doing it to fill a void in you or or or you know what I mean then you then you shouldn't be doing this kind of thing or or you know drinking too much. I mean, there's a lot of behaviors that a strong-minded person shouldn't be doing.

Congratulations on this gorgeous photo, by the way. It looks good.

Thank you. It was fun. I mean, shooting with Tyler is always insane and you never know what's gonna happen, so it's exciting.

So this picture, tell us about the creative process behind this. This is Haley Bennett. Second guest: This is Haley Bennett, and this is actually two different photos used in one. This the background one is the first shoot I ever did with Tyler. And then this one is actually a screen grab from a movie that he shot that we did. So this is I guess, like, part of his whole thing is colliding the two different photos from different photoshoots and stuff like that. [Sound effect]

What an exciting event. Are you guys having fun? Second guest: Yes. Third guest: Tyler's one of my best friends. I lived with him for a while.

You did? Third guest: I was his muse for several months. I was there at his beck and call to do whatever he wanted um, in photographs. My hand, my my mouth, my fingers, and everything. You can be found in all sorts of kinds of photos by Tyler. So exciting to see what he did. There's me right there. It's awesome.

It says love on your hand. Third guest: I can recognize my body parts in all photos. Oh yeah. You always see different crazy things in each photo that he does, but how does he come up with something so fresh every time? Well, he doesn't sleep. He stays awake. I know this because I stayed awake with him. And he just wracks his mind in and new things to him and everything inspires him and everyone that he meets inspires him. Second guest: Tell me more about the photo you guys did. I think it was right around here that we did it, but uh, he took me out to this construction site, uh, at night. Had me climbing up 50-foot rigs and hanging off with just my feet and like, it was a little wild. I shot with him a couple times. My tongue's up there and my hands. It's the three-way tongue and the other two tongues are here as well.

Do you know who they are? Second guest: Oh yes. We all had a good night. Third guest: The media sometimes puts like this negative kind of outlook on Young Hollywood, like with Lindsey Lohan and the stuff that he's doing, but you know, you guys know Tyler. You guys know it's art. I think people need to understand where Tyler's coming from and stop looking at Lindsey Lohan as like a wreck or whatever it is because art's art and I bet it was anybody else doing that photo there wouldn't be any kind of buzz but I mean that's Tyler, you know, Tyler just has guts. I mean, he just shot someone, you know, he's like bloody and gory and he's not afraid, he's fearless.
