TheBaronOfFratton Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Death By Hamburger (2001) For the art world, the celebrated glamour photographer David LaChapelle (b. 1969) is a guilty pleasure. His sex-soaked color photos of celebrities and fashion models are just too high-key. Nothing is held back. The lily is not only gilded, but drenched in rhinestones, draped in haute couture and surrounded by the most exotic props imaginable. It's about time. Minimalism is, like, so 40 years ago. In addition to his photographs, the Los Angeles-based LaChapelle has made many music videos for performers ranging from Elton John to Gwen Stefani. He's published half a dozen photo books, most recently Artists & Prostitutes 1985-2005, a 688-page collection from Taschen that retails at an impressive $2,500. (Mary Barone for artnet) Quote

TheBaronOfFratton Posted September 8, 2008 Author Posted September 8, 2008 Thank you for the comprehensive list, Layla - it's true he dabbles more in this now than in photography. But, for a shining moment back there, his images were very much in mode... Here's a little light blasphemy: Quote
penny-dreaddfull Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 LaChappelle also directed a very fascinating and visually remarkable film called 'Rize' about the 'Krumping' dance scene... the story of the south central kids who dance competitively instead of joining gangs it's very moving and there are some AMAZING visuals dark gorgeous bodies, covered in sweat, dancing in the L.A. basin.. blue sky overhead..... its one of the most visually stunning scenes in film simply gorgeous lolol if only the L.A. sky was truly That blue heres a trailer for the movie.. gives you an idea of what its about these are my fave visuals from the movie...
