Representatives of the GuyHepner Gallery, which sells the works of photographer Tyler Shields, say that the cost of his photos varies from $ 5,000 to $ 15,000. Shields himself assures that the price of works sometimes reaches $ 175,000.

Tyler Shields' photographic works are exhibited in galleries around the world. But it would not seem surprising if the photos of the famous photographer did not so much resemble the famous pictures in the history of photography.
