Luna Park, 2013

Born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1963, photographer and director David LaChapelle is known internationally for his talent for combining a unique hyperrealistic aesthetic with a critical social message. He started out collaborating with Interview magazine by the hand of Andy Warhol, and soon earned renown for his photographs of celebrities, as well as his music videos for pop stars.
