Backstreet Boys' A.J. McLean Pays Roughly 40K for Vampire Photo of Lindsay Lohan

Backstreet Boys member A.J. McLean has purchased a photo of a bloody-mouthed Lindsay Lohan straddling over ‘Vampire Diaries’ star Michael Trevino. The shot was taken by acclaimed photographer Tyler Shields.

McLean bought the photograph after attending Shields’ art exhibition in Los Angeles. “A.J. paid between $30,000 and $40,000 for the large print of Lindsay with Michael Trevino,” remarks Shields. “I was really thrilled with how the exhibition went and we sold a lot of my images on the night including one of Dianna Agron from ‘Glee,’ Emma Roberts and actors Spencer Falls and Sarah Carroll.”

The picture of Spencer Falls and Sarah Carroll was purchased by ‘Glee’ actress Jenna Ushkowitz for $50,000. “These young celebrities buy my work because it’s an investment,” explains Shields. “The value has increased considerably since I started taking them.”
