David
LaChapelle

LaChapelle’s photography career began in the 1980’s when he began showing his artwork in New York City galleries. His work caught the eye of Andy Warhol, who offered him his first job as a photographer at Interview Magazine. In 2006, LaChapelle decided to minimize his participation in commercial photography, and return to his roots by focusing on fine art photography.

David LaChapelle is known internationally for his exceptional talent in combining a unique hyper-realistic aesthetic with profound social messages.
