As one of today’s leading fashion photographers both in Asia and worldwide, Todd Anthony Tyler frequently travels to some of the most secluded and exotic destinations, turning fantasy into reality as seen on the pages of Vogue China, Elle China, Harper’s Bazaar China, L'Officiel China, and GQ. Celebrated for shooting vivid images with raw energy and uncompromising character, Tyler has created captivating advertising campaigns for Uma Wang, Ritz-Carlton Hotels, L’Oreal Paris, Adidas and Ports 1961.
Breaking into the fashion industry as a model, Tyler was once highly sought-after by the blue chip brands of menswear. After modeling full time from Japan to Milan, Tyler began to pursue his lifelong love affair with photography, this time from a different angle. With 20+ years of combined experience on both sides of the camera, the Canadian-born photographer uses the lens to push the boundaries of style and creative exploration.
For over a decade, Tyler has operated a successful studio in Shanghai, China, becoming the photographer and art director of choice for his knack to transform models into icons. Tyler has captured the rising star of Asia’s freshest faces including Liu Wen, Fei Fei Sun, and Kiki Kang. His unique point of view on producing artistic imagery is expressed candidly each month in a column he writes for Asian Photography, India and Asia’s premier professional photography magazine.
When Tyler is not snapping away, he strives to maintain a healthy work-life balance by doing yoga, weight training and running daily. He is co-owner of a yoga-inspired lifestyle clothing company-Aumnie Athletics.
