David LaChapelle

David Lachapelle is best known for his photography, which often references art history and sometimes conveys social messages. His photographic style has been described as "hyper-real and slyly subversive". David LaChapelle is a celebrated American photographer and video artist. Perhaps best known for his commercial fashion portraits of celebrities, LaChapelle’s signature blend of colorful, conceptual imagery bears the influence of both Surrealism and Pop Art. He is quite simply the only photographic artist working today who has been able to successfully maintain a profound impact in the realm of celebrity photography as well as the notoriously discerning contemporary art intelligentsia.
