David Lachapelle







David Lachapelle
is one of my favorite photographers, known for his surreal over extravagant images of pop icons and super models. The highly saturated colors ooze out of his photos cluttered with excess goodness for your eyes to feast on. I saw his documentary Rize years ago and have never had a movie theatre experience quite like it. Everyone who was watching became so animated by the energy conveyed in the movie that they cheered, clapped, and got up out of their seats for the dancers in the movie. It was in Oakland where I saw it ...but still that kind of good.
