Philippe Shangti is a leading French contemporary photographer whose bold and provocative universe disrupts the international art scene. Through daring works blending glamour and social commentary, he exposes the excesses and vices of modern society, leaving a lasting impression on the public.

His unique style and innovative approach have earned him worldwide recognition. His creations, exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums across the globe, captivate collectors and experts alike. In 2019, he officially represented the Principality of Andorra at the 58th Venice Biennale. Since 2020, his works have been showcased at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Carcassonne, and in 2021, the Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art in Saint Petersburg, Russia, dedicated a major retrospective to his work, titled Flavor of Sensuality.

In 2024, he became the most highly valued living French photographer after one of his works sold for €290,000 at the L’Astarossa auction at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. A few months later, he unveiled Futurspective, a monographic book written by renowned art critic Renaud Siegmann, at Artcurial Paris.

At the end of 2024, he was selected by the prestigious Studio Harcourt to create the official photograph for the studio’s 90th anniversary.

The year 2025 marks a new milestone with his masterpiece Mona Lisa Released exhibited at the prestigious BRAFA Art Fair in Brussels, in collaboration with Galerie Montanari.
