My photographer for this thanksgiving week is David Lachapelle. (once again, a celebrity photographer)
David LaChapelle was born in Connecticut in 1969. He studied as a fine artist at N.Carolina School of the Arts before moving to New York. He then enrolled at both the Art Students League and the School of Visual Arts. Not yet out of high school, he was offered his professional job by Andy Warhol to work for Interview Magazine. His photography has been showcased in tons galleries and museums, including Tony Shafrazi Gallery and Deitch Projects in New York. His pictures have been on and in between the covers of magazines such as Vogue, French Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ, and Rolling Stone.
He has photographed people from kanye west to muhammed ali to leonardo dicaprio to hilary clinton, and has a style that is unique to any one person. He like every other photographer, tries to incorporate the ideas and opinions of his subject and of his. I personally liked his work, partly because of the people in them, but mostly because of the striking and vibrantly beautiful pictures.
