More quotes by David LaChapelle
My dream since I was a kid was to show in a gallery.
David LaChapelle
For me, it's easier to like more things than to dislike them I'm not a critic in that sense. I find it easier to like more, to be more open and enjoy more things, which has given me more opportunities.
David LaChapelle
My biggest advice would be to take the pictures you want to take. Don’t think about the marketplace, what sells or what an editor might say. And don’t think about style. It’s all bullshit and surface stuff. Style happens.
David LaChapelle
My idea was that if I took a picture of somebody and years later, or whenever, they would die and if someone wanted to know who this person was, they could take one of these pictures and it would tell who the person was.
David LaChapelle
I had this duality growing up with my dad being a strict Catholic and his brother being a priest and my mother finding God in nature, so I've taken a little from both [traditions].
David LaChapelle
In the fashion world, I was always an outsider, but I made people look good, so I had a career.
David LaChapelle
Pictures are an escape. They should be bigger than life. In the same way, celebrities provide an escape from the mundane. They are photographed so we can worship them - so they are worthy of our worship.
David LaChapelle
There are going to be people doing the talking and people who get talked about, choose, which one do you want to be?
David LaChapelle
You just do what you love, and then a style happens later on.
David LaChapelle
I like the consistency of having people in my life for a long time.
David LaChapelle
I'll let criticism spoil breakfast, but I don't let it affect my lunch.
David LaChapelle
My work is about making candy for the eyes. It's about grabbing your attention.
David LaChapelle
If you watch Michael Jackson [1992] concerts from Budapest and compare it to a Madonna concert of today, you'll see such uplifting beauty and a message that you won't see in any other artist of our time.
David LaChapelle
Michael [Jackson] had paintings of himself at Neverland depicting himself as a knight and surrounded by cherubs and angels. People might think he's an egomaniac, but he's not. It's because the world turned against him.
David LaChapelle
I like thinking about the fragility of the human flesh and our bodies - our decay and eventual death.
David LaChapelle
If you want reality take the bus.
David LaChapelle
I love when people write about something, I learn what I'm doing through the eyes of a good critic, positive or negative. It's still a learning experience.
David LaChapelle
I believe in a visual language that should be as strong as the written word.
David LaChapelle
My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.
David LaChapelle
I think we're in a post-pornographic time and nothing seems shocking, but everything remains carnal no matter what you do.
