David LaChapelle, the 'Fellini of photography', has photographed celebrities as diverse as Leonardo DiCaprio, Britney Spears, Elizabeth Taylor, Pamela Anderson, David Beckham and Tupac Shakur.
LaChapelle was offered his first professional job by Andy Warhol while still in high school. His photography has been showcased in numerous galleries and museums internationally, including New York, Amsterdam, Italy, Vienna, Belgium, and at the Barbican Museum in London, to this day the most attended show in the museums history. His unfettered images of celebrity and contemporary pop culture have appeared on and between the covers of magazines such as Italian Vogue, French Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and i-D. In recent years LaChapelle has expanded his work to include music videos, live theatrical events and documentary film-making. His directing credits include music videos for artists such as Christina Aguilera, Moby, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, The Vines and No Doubt. Its My Life with Gwen Stefani won the award for Best Pop Video at the MTV Music Video Awards and LaChapelle himself garnered the MPVAs Director of the Year award in 2004. His stage work includes Elton Johns The Red Piano, the Caesars Palace spectacular he designed and directed, and which was the top-selling show in Las Vegas for 2004.
Ranked among the top ten most important people in photography by American Photo magazine, LaChapelles work continues to be inspired by everything from art history to pornography, creating both a record and mirror of all facets of popular culture today.
