Photographer, director, and writer Tyler Shields is known for his world class, oft avant garde, work. We've covered many of his previous over-the-top projects here on Fstoppers, including feeding a $100,000 purse to a crocodile, his Mouthful exhibit, and blowing up his Rolls Royce Silver Shadow — all in the name of art. Shields is at it again with his fine art series Sirens which blends the genres of landscape and nude in a beautifully surrealist way. In this video, Tyler takes you behind the scenes in a look at the creation of some of the Sirens images.
As described in the video, the project required models to pose for up to 28 minutes, nude, in the cold, while remaining perfectly still — a daunting task to say the least.
Below are a handful of the Sirens photos from Tyler's Instagram.
Final images from the Sirens series can be found on Tyler's blog. You can also check out our previous articles on Tyler's work here.
What do you think of the images in the series? Combining landscape photography and nudes in fine art is certainly not a new concept. Do you think Tyler's Sirens series brings something new to the conversation? Let us know in the comments below.

YESSSS!!!!! And there was not a push-up bra anywhere in sight!!! LOVING!
This series is stunning, and in my opinion is some of his best work.
It has a very similar aesthetic to some of Zhang Jingna's recent work for her Motherland Chronicles series, which is a welcome thing!
i like them, I just want to know where I can see large prints of them, as he mentioned. haha.
If you're in LA Guy Hepner Gallery has prints hanging.
Thanks! I might have to drive up there tomorrow.
These look like crime scene photos..
