Tyler Ezell

Tyler Ezell, also professionally known as ‘lumen8shun’ is a lighting designer and photographer based out of Detroit. Tyler has developed a foundation of work surrounded by a common medium: light. He believes lighting has the power to alter our perception of time and space and seeks to find unique ways to capture and manipulate it. Tyler, a Detroit native, has a burning passion for the Motor City…everything from its history, to its architecture and bright future. Much of his work aims to meld his understanding of light harmoniously with the subject of Detroit; helping to tell its story and showing the world its sometimes-unforeseen beauty. Tyler has worked on a wide variety of projects, from concerts and music festivals to theatrical productions, temporary art installations and permanent architectural lighting installations.
