Lachapelle Land: Photographs

I lost my original book in 2007 in a fire. Thankfully, I was able to find this first edition at a reasonable price. The book came exactly as described. The outer box has some minor wear, but nothing that makes it a deal-breaker. The edition number is printed in the back of the box. The book also came with the insert. Can't wait to show off this amazing book -- it is filled with fun and exciting full-color photos.

Amazing book! Book was supposed to be a second hand book but looked like a new one. Thx!

great little book.

A great look at David LaChappelle's earlier work. If you're interested in LaChappelle, you'll really appreciate the book.

I was very pleased with the condition of the book and the speed at which it arrived but for paying 20+ more than what the book is originally worth, I would have expected the box to be in a bit better condition. over all a good buy and a good sell on their part.

Not too often in time emerges a work of art that can encapsulate all of that's happening, and what will happen in the future in our culture. Just like when the series of Campbell Soups from Andy Warhol came out, it represented the whole pop culture in the late 60's, and the future of Pop art. Like a true Warhol disciple David Lachapelle is always looking for the beauty in everyday things, he used to get depressed when he would go away anywhere and see signs of industrialitation, until he start finding the beauty in them, "we get excited now when we see Golden Arches an parking lots...The've replaced the forest". There are no words that can explain these hipnotic, surreal, intriguing and enchanting photograhs and the emotion you could achieve when traveling through the pages of this book. It contains 151 pages of photographs, including pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Basinger, Simon Le Bon, The Smashing Pumpkins and the one and only Andy Warhol; plus 91 small outtakes of the photo sessions in two pages. In LACHAPELLE LAND absolutely all the people look Hipnotically Beautiful, like he says he wants his photographs to be a break of beauty, this books is a Trip of Beauty.

Not many photographers can put together the camp, kitsch, gloss and lustre that this man can. Even the gaudiest of pictures can envelope you mind's taste buds... Its beautiful, erotic and camp at its best!

It is a very good title - LaChapelle Land, It means that we could never see anything similiar in different way than looking at the book. I am his fan and I would like to see something like this again.
