Shields told RadarOnline.com: “It was amazing. I got the news from my art dealer that somebody had offered $1 million for the image on Saturday night.
“I was in the middle of setting-up a shoot, so it didn’t really register with me at the time when we accepted the bid.

“We took the image back in July 2009 at The Four Corners where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona all meet.
“At the time we did not think that it would be worth so much money but that is the amazing thing with art - nobody can predict its real value.
“The buyer really wanted the photograph, so, he believed that it was worth that amount of money.

“I intend to use the money to make more art and to invest in a charity or something in New Orleans as I was really affected by Hurricane Katrina.
“I still have the check – the truth is I have been to busy to put it in the bank!”
The hip shutterbug is rapidly becoming one of Hollywood’s most sought after celebrity photographers.
Shields along with Star Trek star Zachary Quinto is filming documentary style footage to chronicle the making of his upcoming book The Dirty Side Of Glamor in which Lohan will appear alongside the likes of Ashley Greene, Hayden Panettiere, Kellan Lutz and Quinto.
