Biography
Deemed by more than one news source as the first true heir to Andy Warhol,
surrealist photographer David LaChapelle made headlines (and turned
more than a few heads) with his flamboyant, unabashedly witty, and often
outrageous images of such iconic celebrities as Paris Hilton, Jerry Springer, and David Beckham.
In time, LaChapelle became something of a one-man industry, as one of
the three or four most in-demand fashion and commercial photographers of
the early 21st century. He also directed a succession of music videos
for various acts such as Courtney Love, Elton John,
and No Doubt. A graduate of the North Carolina School for the Arts,
LaChapelle landed his first job during his teens by simply approaching Andy Warhol
unannounced and asking to show him his portfolio. Warhol responded to
the photographs positively, and promptly secured the young man a job as a
photographer for Interview magazine. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
