Prompt photons in heavy ion collisions at the LHC: A ''multi-purpose'' observable

I emphasize in this contribution how prompt photons can be used to probe nuclear parton densities as well as medium-modified fragmentation functions in heavy ion collisions. Various predictions in p-A and A-A collisions at LHC energies are given.
