ABOUT THE ARTISTS TYLER SHIELDS Tyler Shields is an American fine art photographer whose work moves seamlessly between photography, fashion, and cinema. Over the past decade, he has established a distinct visual language that explores beauty, power, and vulnerability. Shields shoots exclusively on film, working with vintage cameras, and maintaining a disciplined, hands-on approach to every image. His photographs are highly constructed yet emotionally immediate, defined by precise lighting, strong contrast, and cinematic tension. His work has been exhibited internationally and has achieved notable results at Sotheby’s, earning a dedicated global collector base and securing his position as one of the most recognizable contemporary photographers working today. JEFFREY CZUM Jeffrey Czum is a photographer and digital artist known for transforming the everyday into the extraordinary. Through his signature “clean collages,” he reimagines familiar urban and roadside scenes, giving ordinary environments new context and meaning. Influenced by cinematic aesthetics and pop culture, Czum’s work balances minimalism with surrealism and a subtle sense of humor. Each image is meticulously planned and constructed, resulting in crisp, highly controlled compositions. Often featuring neon signage and reimagined advertisements, his photographs present a dreamlike, satirical take on contemporary life, inviting viewers to pause and reconsider the familiar. NICK MELE Nick Mele is a lifestyle, fashion, and fine art photographer known for his whimsical take on American luxury and elegance. Drawn to richly layered interiors and the people who inhabit them, his images evoke a blend of old-world glamour and modern irreverence. Over the past decade, Mele has become recognized for crafting surreal narratives set within dreamlike domestic spaces. His photographs offer a playful yet refined glimpse into life in the country’s most exclusive resort towns, capturing a world that feels both familiar and fantastical, real and imagined.
