About
David LaChapelle was born in Connecticut in 1963 and attended high school at North
Carolina School of The Arts. Originally enrolled as a painter, he developed an analogue
technique by hand-painting his own negatives to achieve a sublime spectrum of color
before processing his film.
At age seventeen, LaChapelle moved to New York City. Following his first photography
show at Gallery 303, he was hired by Andy Warhol to work at Interview Magazine.
Through his mastery of color, unique composition, and imaginative narratives,
LaChapelle began to expand the genre of photography. His staged tableau, portrait and
still life works challenged devices of traditional photography and his work quickly gained
international interest. By 1997, The New York Times predicted, “LaChapelle is certain to
influence the work of a new generation...in the same way that Mr. Avedon pioneered so
much of what is familiar today.”
In the decades since, LaChapelle has become one of the most published photographers
throughout the world with an anthology of books including LaChapelle Land (1996),
Hotel LaChapelle (1999), Heaven to Hell (2006), Lost & Found (2017), and Good News (2017).
Simultaneously, his work has expanded into music video, film and stage projects. His
2005 feature film Rize was released theatrically in 17 countries. Many of his still and film
works have become iconic archetypes of America in the 21st Century.
LaChapelle has photographed some of the most recognizable figures in film, music, art, politics and sports, including Aaliyah, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, Andy Warhol, Angeline Jolie, Anna Kournikova, Anna Nicole Smith, Avicii, Britney Spears, Charli XCX, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Courtney Love, David Beckham, David Bowie, David Hockney, Dennis Hopper, Diana Damrau, Doja Cat, Dolly Parton, Drew Barrymore, Dua Lipa, Eartha Kitt, Elizabeth Taylor, Elton John, Eminem, Faye Dunaway, Giselle, Gloria Estefan, Hillary Clinton, Ice Spice, Jackie Chan, Janet Jackson, Jeff Koons, Julian Assange, Kanye West, Kehinde Wiley, Keke Palmer, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Lance Armstrong, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lil’ Kim, Liza Minnelli, Lizzo, Madonna, Marc Anthony, Mariah Carey, Marilyn Manson, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Muhammed Ali, Naomi Campbell, Nicki Minaj, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Ricky Martin, Rita Ora, Sade, Serena Williams, Snoop Dogg, Sofia Coppola, Stevie Nicks, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Tupac Shakur, Uma Thurman, Whitney Houston and many others.
In the fall of 2023, LaChapelle was honored with the “Lorenzo il Magnifico” Lifetime Achievement Award at the XIV Florence Biennale.
Over the past 40 years, LaChapelle has exhibited internationally in galleries and museums including the National Portrait Gallery (London), Musee de Monnaie (Paris), Barbican Centre (London), Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Musee D’Orsay (Paris), Groninger Museum (The Netherlands), Palazzo delle Esposizioni (Rome), Palazzo Reale (Milano), National Portrait Gallery (Washington D.C.), Casa dei Tre Oci (Venice), La Venaria Reale (Turin), MUDEC (Milan), Fotografiska (New York), Salone Degli Incanti (Trieste) and the North Carolina Museum of Art.
“Mr. LaChapelle is certain to influence the work of a new generation of photographers in the same way that Mr. Avedon pioneered so much of what is familiar today.
Mr. Avedon said that 'of all the photographers inventing surreal images, it was Mr. LaChapelle who has the potential to be the genre's Magritte.”
-NY Times
"He isn't very impressed by current photography. ‘There's a lot of pornographic pictures taken by the young today,’... He frowned. ‘A lot of the nudity is just gratuitous. But someone who makes me laugh is David LaChapelle. I think he's very bright, very funny, and good.’'
-Helmut Newton
