Tyler Shields is the photographer who regularly does incredibly sketchy photoshoots with C-list female celebrities. He’s known for his p0rn-y suicide-themed work with Lindsay Lohan, and he recently did a domestic-violence tinged shoot with Heather Morris of Glee posing with an iron and a black eye that got him in trouble with advocacy groups. He later defended himself, saying that the theme for the shoot was “busted up Barbie” and did not mean to glamorize abuse.
So here’s a shoot that Tyler did with Mischa Barton chewing on raw meat. It’s disturbing and seems just a step away from showing abuse, particularly the one picture where Tyler is grabbing her neck hard and shoving the meat on her face. Tyler says the inspiration came from seeing Mischa eat a burger. I guess if she was a vegetarian he’d smoosh some bread over her eye and try to smother her with it.
Mischa Barton apparently likes to play with her food.
In a new series of photos by sometimes controversial photographer Tyler Shields, the O.C. starlet is shown biting into slabs of—get this!—raw meat.
Yeah, we also wanted to barf.
Anyhoo, what’s the deal with Barton’s carnivorous cravings?
Tyler Shields tells us he came up with the idea for the pics after having lunch with Barton at the West Coast burger chain, In-N-Out.
“I’m watching her eat this hamburger, and all I could think about was just meat all over her face,” he said.
Cut to a couple of days later when Barton arrives for the shoot. “I was like, ‘By the way, I bought $65 of meat and I want you to eat it raw and put it on your face,’” Shields said. “And she was like, ‘OK!’”
Even so, Shields says Barton was a little hesitant to chomp on the raw stuff right away, but then “like two minutes later, she’s literally tearing this s–t apart. Just f—king tearing into it.”
Barton joins a laundry list of celebs who have worked with Shields, including Lindsay Lohan, Emma Roberts, Heather Morris and Dianna Agron.
The Barton photos are currently being shown in the window of the Imitate Modern gallery in London as a preview for Shields and Maximilian Wiedemann’s new art exhibit opening Wednesday.

I feel wholly unqualified to give any kind of social commentary on this photoshoot. I’ll just say that it bothered me, that it’s stupid and that Mischa doesn’t deserve to be posed like that. I hope that this hack stops getting willing models at some point.

On the plus side, from what we can see of her, she’s looking MUCH better. His photos are ridiculous-but he’s brilliant at the pr.

I agree with 1. She does look better, health wise. As far as the shoot, I don’t care for the theme but that’s just me.

That guy has problems. And the women who agree to subject themselves to his, um, “art” – well, it just makes me sad. It seems like that’s how they view themselves, you know?

hahaha, happymom…I was going to say, “well, this is best I’ve seen her look in a LONG time”….meat and all!
and I love how they call her “the O.C. starlet”…that show hasn’t been on TV for years, and she was killed off after a couple of season.
sort of like how they refer to Lohan as “the Mean Girls star”.

Happymom — I was thinking the same thing — meat aside, she looks flippin fantastic, and we haven’t been able to say that in *YEARS.*
that said: um, yes, there is something strangely uncomfortable about watching a guy force meat into a naked girl’s face. It’s just too much of a metaphor not to be a little ooked out by it.

Women or usually d-list female celebrities, who subject themselves to this sort of ‘art’ are basically desperate to be relevant again.

Shields is such an untalented “photographer”. The only time you see his pics are through the JJ blog or via twitter of some Glee castmember.

Can’t we boycott this Shields character??? He’s not creative. He’s going for shock value and there always seems to be violence with sexual overtones. He also seems to enjoy getting himself in the photos with the so-called “talent”.

I disagree with #10, I don’t think his shoots are cool or stunning at all. They always strike me as demeaning.
Does he have issues with women? Its as if he feels angry towards these girls? May be these types wouldn’t give the time of day in high school or whatever.
Ok, pseudo psychology session over, the things you pick up from shows like Criminal Minds…

I completely agree with this post. Just nasty. Methinks the photographer has an issue with women and enjoys humiliating them to say the least. I guess these C-list celebs will do anything to stay in the public eye. Sad.

He obviously spends too much time watching porn and has a completely warped mind to show for it. What is alwas much mroe disturbing though, is the women who are a part of it- either the actual porn industry or similarly belittling photoshoots intended for general public viewing.

@Annaloo – totally agree. Karl Lagerfeld, Tyler Shields, Terry Richardson… they all do the same thing – these “bare, unaffected” photos, except they’re all photoshopped and they are, indeed, very affected.
It’s boring. It needs to stop. There is no artistry. The photos aren’t even compelling – not in composition or subject. There is nothing that draws you in. Not even bringing up the Gaga 2.0 factor…

I bet he’ll und up working on PETA’s new porn site, he seems to be just their sort of guy: photographing dead stuff and commodifying/objectifying/generally being a misogynist ass to women objects (not subject).

Mischa looks “better?” How? In that she looks emaciated and skinny, has dark circles under her eyes, and looks like she hasn’t washed her hair in a couple of days. Gross.

Looks to me like Tyler is desperately trying to achieve the tacky notoriety of Terry Richardson in the world of glossy magazines.

LOL. Gretchen and her whining about women being objects. I thought the “women’s movement” was about women deciding their own path…or is it more important they choose the politically correct path of not being “sexy”?
I love it that they threw this out in PETA’s face. Meat is good food, just ask a lion…it’s natural to eat it.

Celebitchy, don’t feel you’re not qualified to make a commentary on this “alleged art.” I’m sure Tyler Shields, here the “artist” is trying HIS BEST to shock & appall. If you, as a viewer of “such art” have a reaction, then you are DEFINITELY QUALIFIED. After hearing you say that, it makes me hesitate ONE NANOSECOND to type something, but…because I have such a VISCERAL reaction…I’m forging ahead.
After seeing this, I must ask, what is next?! Oh, let’s see….maybe a photoshoot w/recently euthanized dogs and cats from the pound?! This is disgusting!!!! Let’s be HONEST HERE…the “artist” is just trying to garner attention, thus name recognition. When in reality, Tyler Shields is nothing but a sleazeball.

ugh both tyler shields and terry creepy fuck need to go away. so over this gimmick. only people who had no idea about the art of photography liked them.
and Mischa looks good again apparently she has lipo’d that fat witch-chin of hers and maybe lost or gained some more weight. however i have been hating her ever since she appeared with blood stains on her white leggings (yes i think she baited the photogs because this was the era when she copied britney’s antics) and later she was photographed picking her nose and i just think she’s disgusting. a beautiful physique wasted on a disgusting person. story of hollyweird i guess

Her teeth look nasty.
And anytime I see something done with meat (like Lady Gaga’s dress) I think it’s such a waste! I eat meat, but I think it shouldn’t be wasted. Go feed some starving kids with it instead of taking stupid pictures or making a dress out of it.

Because it’s ART, philistines!
Wasn’t this on Freaky Eaters? I can’t watch that show.
The teeth remind me of Don Carlo, the mob boss on The Simpsons who has trouble differentiating between Authentic Krusty and Bastardized Krusty. Imagine him introducting the amazing bicycle trick that Homer and Krusty would have to perform together for the Don’s delight, then imagine the state of his zoomed-in teeth as he utters the word, ‘unless’ to his perhaps hapless would-be entertainers.
‘…so please very carefully brush three times a day, go round and round *yeah!* Round and round!’
