More quotes by David LaChapelle
I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.
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
As an artist you have a choice. You can add more confusion and darkness to the world or you can shine a light, make a beauty.
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
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
I was always painting when I was a kid. But then when I handled a camera when I was 17, that was it for me. I loved photography. I would work 4 or 5 hours a day. It was like a calling.
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
With mania, is it dangerous to ride that euphoric feeling. You feel very animated and creative I would fill journals with drawings. It feels good and you want it to last, but it can lead to being delusional. The delusions can be as real as you thinking you can fly.
David LaChapelle
People get devalued in Hollywood when they age, despite all their efforts to stay relevant and beautiful and young. They can't get jobs anymore.
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 like thinking about the fragility of the human flesh and our bodies - our decay and eventual death.
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 like the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas more than the actual one.
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
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 love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation.
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
The adornment of the body is a human need.
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
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
