About the Item

Series: Indulgence Chromogenic Print on Kodak Endura Luster Paper All available sizes & editions for each size of this photograph: 22.5" x 30" Edition of 3 30" x 40" Edition of 3 45" x 60" Edition of 3 56" x 72" Edition of 3 The Python Birkin the most expensive hand bag in the world. This was one of the hardest shots to make happen but when the snake (which is real) wrapped around the bag it locked in and did not move Tyler Shields is photographer, film director, and writer, best known for his images of Hollywood celebrities. Known for his controversial and violent images, and frequently drawing criticism from animal rights activists and women’s groups, his photographs capture much of the most over-the-top, brutal aspects of contemporary celebrity culture. Born in Jacksonville, Florida and now recognized as “Hollywood’s favorite photographer”, contemporary artist and filmmaker Tyler Shields’ evolution from the “bad boy of photography” with his controversial blood-stained photographic series featuring Lindsay Lohan to the more subtle color-explosive poesy of his Chromatic series, and his work featuring Francesca Eastwood (Clint’s daughter) to the fire-starting bag-sawing antics of a $100,00 Hermes Birkin Bag, to the stoic magic surrealism of Suspense, a project shot in the New Mexico desert featuring Franseca Eastwood, Emma Roberts and Lydia Hearst, Mr. Shield’s art captures the emergence of an artist and his medium into a more mature overture and output. Tyler Shields is an American image-maker. This photograph will be printed once payment has been received and will ship directly from the printer the artist works with.
