David LaChapelle: Songs for the World

The famous photographer gained worldwide popularity when his extravagant photographs of such stars as David Beckham, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Elton John, Elisabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, the Kardashian family and top models from Naomi Campbell were released. The artistic community says that it is the real successor of Andy Warhol, who was his mentor. His cinematography has been regularly featured in the world's most famous magazines, including Vogue, Rolling Stones, and the Vanity Fair. Apart from photography, he also directs music videos for Florence & The Machine, Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. It was he who dismantled Lil Kim and covered her body with the Louis Vuitton logo, laid the thorny Kanye West crown, and with Mark Wahlberg created a blonde sex bomb. Whether it's Jerry Springer's beaten tooth and conquered eye on the Esquire cover, the flirtatious Kylie Minogue with the GQ hula hop, or the fairy-tale Tori Amos in Rolling Stone's mysterious garden - the impression after seeing his photos stays with the audience for a long time.
