DAVID LACHAPELLE
LaChapelle attended the North Carolina School of the Arts and the School of the Arts in New York City. His first photograph was of his single mother, Helga LaChapelle, on a family vacation in Puerto Rico. She wore a bikini and held a martini glass on a balcony. From then on he was obsessed with photography. His first professional job as a photographer was offered by Andy Warhol for Interview magazine. LaChapelle has four published books of his photographs, LaChapelle Land and Hotel LaChapelle, both containing vivid and bizarre portraits of celebrities such as Marilyn Manson, Drew Barrymore and Uma Thurman.
The perfect way to describe Lachapelles work is: Gorgeous. Outrageous. Wildly colorful. David LaChapelle's unfettered images have redefined the way editors look at their magazines and turned fashion on its head. Mixing glamour with comic fantasy, LaChapelle's work never fails to surprise and delight.
PAUL MASSEY
Paul helped record major events such as the miners̢۪ strike, the Lockerbie bombing and the fall of the Berlin wall. He̢۪s been shot at, chased by wild elephants, poisoned, and nearly drowned in a hurricane covering a four-month transatlantic yacht race. In 1990 Paul began his freelance career concentrating on fashion and portraiture. He was a regular at the fashion shows of Milan, Paris, New York and London where he was commissioned by the major magazine titles. His photography caught the eye of Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Vivienne Westwood and many other designers who commissioned Paul privately to capture their work. His portraits of presidents and prime ministers, Hollywood celebrities, rock legends, sports stars and royalty have appeared in major magazines all around the world and are widely syndicated.
Paul is one of the most respected photographers in his field, and has acquired a reputation of gaining the confidence of his subjects many of whom have specifically requested working with him time and again.
