“Indulgence is an idea” – Tyler Shields Indulgence, the newest series from Tyler Shields, features actress Ana Mulvoy Ten and a hungry friend of the reptilian variety. The collection is centered around the idea of luxury and society’s sick obsession with indulging in the finer things life has to offer – like Hermes, Chanel, and Prada to name a few. I was doing a photo of Allie Marie Evans in this tub and all I could imagine was a swan so 24 hours later I had one and this photo was made. Your imagination can only run wild if you let it. There’s a moment where you think to yourself it would be fun if we had a swan but doing it is a whole other ball game. I love letting my mind run wild and having the ability to do these types of images. What I dreamed of when I started was being able to shoot anything I could think of.
