More quotes by David LaChapelle
We're bombarded with images. Take the time to stop and look at something then connect with them and maybe they're thinking the same thing, I used a lot of devices to catch the eye of people who have seen a lot of stuff, having worked in advertising and in editorial. I have learned to get someone to stop and look at something, that language.

We are in this time of corporations being so greedy and global. Some people want to call it the apocalypse. When I was born it was half the people on the planet. It has doubled in my life time. This is not sustainable for the earth of course we are going somewhere. So we have to live preciously, we have to live each day with care!

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
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
There is nothing ugly in sexuality or in the body. It's human!
David LaChapelle
In the fashion world, I was always an outsider, but I made people look good, so I had a career.
David LaChapelle
I'm not condemning the Catholic Church - it's too big, it's like condemning a nation and that would be prejudiced.
David LaChapelle
I'll let criticism spoil breakfast, but I don't let it affect my lunch.

The adornment of the body is a human need.
David LaChapelle
The key is to photograph your obsessions, whether that’s old people’s hands or skyscrapers. Think of a blank canvas, because that’s what you’ve got, and then think about what you want to see. Not anyone else.
David LaChapelle
You just do what you love, and then a style happens later on.
David LaChapelle
I'm part of what I consider the entertainment industry. For my photos to be entertaining, they have to be provocative and new.
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.
