David LaChapelle, born in 1963, works as a photographer and director in various fields such as advertising, video, fashion, and fine art photography. He attended the North Carolina School of the Arts as well as the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Early in his career, LaChapelle worked for Interview, a job offered to him by Andy Warhol, Rolling Stone, GQ, and Vanity Fair. He works extensively with celebrities portraying them in provocative, surreal settings. His images are incredibly vivid and blur the lines between grotesque and beautiful. LaChapelle works mainly in tableaux form, creating very intricate scenes with multiple models, bright colors, and unique props. He has published multiple photographic books and multiple films, such as Rize, a documentary on krumping and clowning, which are two forms of dance popular in South Central LA.
