David LaChapelle

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.

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

its one of the most visually stunning scenes in film

simply gorgeous :wub:
