Why, oh why?  
So there is this photographer called Tyler Shields who takes photographs of lots of celebrities and posts them in his blog and it seems everyone seems to want to work with him. And I have to say I don't get it. I do not think his work is beautiful, artistic has a good mood in any way.

Instead it's sexist and deals only with cliches and everyone always looks cheap. There are a few exceptions, but not too many.

Anyways, currently half the cast of one of my current guilty pleasure shows, revenge, has done a shot with him and of course it looks cheap and pretentious, which makes me sad. One of the pics I like though. It's the pillow fight with the silouettes. Also Gabrial Mann has a really nice chest ;)

It makes me a bit sad. You can check it out here. Tell me how you feel about it ;)

ps: Still looking forward to seeing the new episode sometime though.

Not familiar with that name, but maybe it is a name drop thing? They don't want pretty pictuers per se, but get the buzz in connection with the name?

And I have to agree. They don't look like anything really special. But like I said, maybe not what either of them was going for.

mmm.. that might be possible. I honestly have no idea how famous this guy is? Or maybe they just think he's cool!!!

Adn it's possible he just wants to polerize people. Just not the impression that I got.

I am really not familiar with photographers, so me never having heard of him before doesn't mean he is not famous.

Maybe those kind of pictures help him make his name. He knows people will talk about them so he takes them again and again until people get bored of talking about them and then he starts something new?

I am sure he and the actors he takes pictures of do have some reason for doing it, though, else they wouldn't, right?

Yes exactly. I'm just very curious. Who knows..maybe he's just a really nice guy to hang out with....
