34-year-old
celebrity photographer, Tyler Shields set fire to a $15K Louis Vuitton trunk
and clicked away as the luxury piece went up in flames. He described the shoot
- for his 'Provocateur' series - as being a 'crazy' experience.
'This is one of the last shots I did for
my new book. It took me a few years to find the trunk as they are rare and not
cheap.' It's not the first time the eccentric photographer has destroyed luxury
items as part of his work.
In
2012, he burned a $100,000 crocodile skin Hermes Birkin along with then
girlfriend Francesca Eastwood, daughter of Clint Eastwood. He has also wrecked
a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes and a Rolls Royce silver for his work.
The photographer
who was born into poverty said in a previous interview: 'I think what people
love about me is that I was a poor kid from Florida who had a piece-of-s***
camera.
'The point of it is that it doesn't matter
who you are or where you come from; if you have a dream you can create anything you want in this world.'
