His passion for vintage photography led to the creation of his vintage photo series back in early 2012. The series was created to pay homage to an era long gone. Through distinctive and wistfully crafted compositions, Tyler was seemingly able to travel in time with his then-three-year-old son (and his younger daughter on occasion) who served as his exclusive model. Tyler put an effort in combining authentic antiques, vintage clothing, and carefully selected background to put so much vintage feel into the photo. The photographs possess an undeniable sentimentality, which transports the observer to another time and place.
