Before he was a photographer, Tyler MacAuley was above all an artistic all-rounder. Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from East Carolina University, he was a television and film actor for twenty-five years, notably participating in the series Chicago Fire. It was in 2015 that he launched his career in photography and made a name for himself. In 2017, he was selected among the ten artists to follow in Chicago and his career skyrocketed. Since then, his photos have been published in thirty-five magazines and shown in over 200 galleries across the globe, including the Matca Gallery in Hanoi (Vietnam) in 2023. “When looking at my work, I’d like audiences to be able to discover the intention behind the photo and feel its emotion,” he declares. Among his main sources of inspiration, Tyler McAuley spontaneously cites Andy Warhol and also another Tyler – Tyler Shields – also an American photographer, whose deliberately provocative glamour pictures have toured the world. His most recent works strongly evoke the dance of the body. His ideal photo? “One of dancers and artists from all over the globe!”
