David LaChapelle School Quotations

People will get tired of overly retouched images soon and they'll want something different. If people have too much reality, they want fantasy. What matters most is what the image communicates. I remember the first roll of film I shot at high school, the contact sheet went from these really worthy images of cracks in the wall and ended up with all of my dancer friends naked in Renaissance poses.

I went to art high school and thought I'd be a painter. Unfortunately I didn't finish high school, but that's always been part of my work.
