David LaChapelle. Controversial. Explosive. Thought-provoking.

Arguably the world's most famous living photographer, he has

been breaking all the rules for over twenty years.

This book is the last chapter in a trilogy that started with the New

York Times bestseller LaChapelle Land (1996) and continued with

Hotel LaChapelle (1999), one of the most sought after and collected

photography books of all time.

Celebrated as the Fellini of photography, LaChapelle has photographed

personalities as diverse as Tupac Shakur, Andy Warhol,

Madonna, Amanda Lepore, Lance Armstrong, Eminem, Pamela

Anderson, Elizabeth Taylor, David Beckham, Lil' Kim, Hillary Clinton,

Philip Johnson, Paris Hilton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Uma Thurman,

Kanye West, and Britney Spears, to name just a few.

While referencing and acknowledging such diverse sources as

Renaissance art, cinema, the Bible, pornography, and the new

globalized pop culture, LaChapelle has fashioned a deeply personal

and epoch-defining visual language that holds a mirror to the face

of our times, reflecting back both the sacred and profane.
