David LaChapelle

David LaChapelle, an American photographer and video artist, is renowned for his hyperrealistic and vividly saturated celebrity portraits that often provoke controversy. He has captured iconic figures like Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, and Michael Jackson, blending humor with Surrealism and Pop art. In addition to his editorial work for publications like Rolling Stone, LaChapelle explores fine art photography, addressing themes of mortality and transcendence while referencing art history and religious iconography. His works have been exhibited in prestigious venues, including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Musée d'Orsay, and have achieved six-figure sales at auction.
