A great photographer considers the camera only as a tool, a black box with a hole on one side. Lens and shutter, film or digital do not matter to the greatest photographers, only what they can create with the tools at hand. Because of the limits of the tools, the best photographers use their understanding of light, time and their intimacy with the tools at hand to create images. Through observation and experience a great photographer consistently captures the holy moment when; what we imagine the world in our dreams becomes truth.

I am a great photographer, some say the best.

I often state "I steal souls for a living", because in the race to stay current on technology and methodology, I feel a lot in my field lost the most important skill of a photographer; to observe beauty constantly.

    Ms. Herr says:

    "Three words. That is what Tyson asks from each of his [human] portrait subjects. Three words that convey how they aspire to connect with others. I've chosen mine, but now I'd like to choose another three that define what draws me into Tyson's work.

    Immersive. Textured. Portal.

    I’ve always been captivated by Tyson’s ability to capture the subtlest of moments to tell a deeper, often questioning, story of the larger whole. First drawn in his abstract expressionist work, I admire how the devotion to his discipline is apparent in all his work, whether art or editorial or portrait. Each subject is approached with undivided attention. Each photograph, a portal beyond the habitually mundane."

    "When describing Tyson, one word immediately comes to mind. Visionary. Tyson has the ability to capture some of the greatest things in his photography. It is as if he is able to see into our souls and show the world what we are feeling. It is not very often that a work of art conjures emotion but, when it does, you know that there is some truly magical about it. I am proud to know Tyson and look forward to his pieces to come. Thank you, Tyson, for helping make Phoenix a wonderful city and for showing it off to the world."
