More quotes by David LaChapelle
I like thinking about the fragility of the human flesh and our bodies - our decay and eventual death.
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.
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
I am not God. But I can only do my role here on this planet. The role I feel I was given since I was a kid was to be making art and I only wanted to give and I never let money be my God.
David LaChapelle
The adornment of the body is a human need. I don't see anything superficial about it unless your life becomes very materialistic.
David LaChapelle
In the fashion world, I was always an outsider, but I made people look good, so I had a career.
David LaChapelle
The adornment of the body is a human need.
David LaChapelle
I didn’t see any difference between being a photographer or being an artist. I didn’t make those boundaries. If someone wants to think it’s art, that’s great, but I’ll let history decide.
David LaChapelle
I think we're in a post-pornographic time and nothing seems shocking, but everything remains carnal no matter what you do.
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
I believe in a visual language that should be as strong as the written word.
David LaChapelle
I like the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas more than the actual one.
David LaChapelle
I like the consistency of having people in my life for a long time.
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
I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.
David LaChapelle
I wanted it to provide an escape route, I wanted to make pictures that were fantastic and took you into another world, one that was brighter. I started off with this idea.
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
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
What's shocking is cruelty and torture, and that's become our entertainment. Kids can play violent video games, but God forbid they look at a naked woman. That's pornography, that's perverse. No!
David LaChapelle
My dream since I was a kid was to show in a gallery.
