LaChapelle is a credited photographer specialising in comic portraits of celebrities. He has four published photo-books which include portraits of Marylon Manson, Naomi Campbell, David Beckham, Angelina Jolie, Pamela Anderson, etc. His portraits are vivid and surreal and usually convey irony. His work has been criticized for being over exaggerated, grotesque and shocking.
Personally I think his work is good because in some cases his work portrays what the public really feel about the celebrities. The use of colour in his work is very important as the colour can change the meaning of his photo. He doesn’t use bright colours sparingly which gives the photo a good mood. I enjoy looking at his photos as they are sarcastic and different.
