About the Item
Iconic Gator skin Birkin bag being held by a hand with red nail polish, fighting with a gator over the bag, photographed by Tyler Shields in 2021. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. The image shows an alligator's head and front legs at the top, appearing to grip with a blue crocodile-textured Hermès Birkin bag being held from below by hands with red nail polish. The composition is set against a plain concrete or gray background, creating a striking visual juxtaposition between the wild alligator and the luxury handbag made from similar textured material. The photo makes a statement about fashion and luxury goods and their relationship to the natural world, particularly given that crocodile and alligator skins are used in high-end leather goods. The parallel between the real reptile and the designer bag made from reptile skin creates a thought-provoking artistic commentary. Hailed as “the Andy Warhol of his generation” by Sotheby’s, TYLER SHIELDS is a celebrated fine art photographer renowned for his daring and provocative images. Originally a world-champion inline skater, Shields brought his relentless drive to photography, soon becoming one of the youngest artists featured at Sotheby’s. His work has been showcased in prominent galleries worldwide, from Los Angeles to London, and he has collaborated with major brands including Armani and Adidas. Known for pushing boundaries, his shoots often involve high-risk setups, from models holding flaming luxury items to posing with live lions—each shot crafted with his signature intensity and vision.

Tyler Shields
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, and now recognized as “Hollywood’s favorite photographer,” L.A.–based contemporary artist and filmmaker Tyler Shields has evolved 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 Hermès 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 — Shield’s art captures the emergence of an artist and his medium into a more mature overture and output. He is an American image-maker.
Born in 1982, Shields’ work derives from a unique history directing music videos and working with the legendary skateboarding icon Tony Hawk. Mr. Shields has produced images that play with notions of the gaze, power structures, hyper-realism, iconoclastic tendencies and cinematographic practice. He has worked with a roster of ranking members of Hollywood including Mischa Barton, Emma Roberts, Aaron Paul, Demi Lovato, Juno Temple, Shiloh Fernandez and more. Tyler’s output involves various mediums from book publishing The Dirty Side of Glamour in 2011, to a novel entitled Smartest Man, and a cluster of solo shows.
