The Fellini of photography
Who’s the greatest star of star photography? It’s the inimitable David LaChapelle, the photographer whose playful, over-the-top style is perfectly unmistakable and unmistakably perfect. Just about everybody who is anybody has posed in one of his dreamlike setups, including Pamela Anderson (in her birthday suit, “censored” by star-shaped stickers), Madonna, Marilyn Manson (as a school bus crossing guard), David Beckham, Tupac Shakur (in a bubblebath), Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Uma Thurman, Leonardo DiCaprio (as Marlon Brando in The Wild One), Britney Spears (as a scantily-clad hot dog vendor), Christina Aguilera (on a pink horse), Hugh Hefner, David Bowie, Courtney Love, Paris Hilton… the list is ridiculously long. LaChapelle’s work has graced the pages of innumerable international magazines and has been the subject of exhibitions in New York, California, Germany, Italy, Austria, London, and more. He has also lent his talents to directing music videos and most recently, a feature documentary, Rize, which was screened at Sundance 2005.
To render homage LaChapelle’s truly extraordinary photography, this 692-page, XL-sized book is packed cover to cover with full-page images traversing his entire career to date. Bursting at the seams with color, celebrities, sex, camp, and outrageousness, this limited edition pays tribute to the daring and ambitious photographer who has created the most eye-popping mises-en-scene in the history of portraiture.
Limited edition of 2,500 copies worldwide, signed and numbered by David LaChapelle.
All color illustrations are color-separated and reproduced in Pan4C, the finest reproduction technique available today, which provides unequalled intensity and color range.
The artist:
Barely out of high school, David LaChapelle was offered his first professional job by Andy Warhol to shoot for Interview magazine. LaChapelle has photographed the world’s hottest celebrities for magazines ranging from Vanity Fair to Rolling Stone, Italian Vogue and i-D. His portraits and art photographs have been exhibited at the Staley-Wise, Toni Shafrazi, and Deitch Galleries in New York, the Fahey-Klein Gallery in California as well as internationally at Art Trend in Austria,
Camerawork in Germany, Sozzani and Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Itay, and the Barbican Museum in London. LaChapelle has also directed music videos for artists such as Moby, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and The Vines. American Photo recently ranked him as one of the top ten "Most Important People in Photography."
Reviews:
"Of all the photographers inventing surreal images, it is Mr. LaChapelle who has the potential to be the genre's Magritte."
