David La Chapelle is a photographer and video/commrcial/film director who works in the field of fashion, advertising and fine art.
He has published four books on his art work. La Chapelle also directed Elton Johns show 'he red piano' in Las Vegas. He has also directed adverts for major brand companies such as Tommy Hilfiger, Nokia, Diesel, Burger King. In 2006 also he directed 'Romeo and Juliet', also directed the season one of 'Desperate Houswives'.
David La Chapelle has also won many awards for his work :

- 2006 Presented with GLAAD's Vito Russo award for outstanding contributions toward eliminating homophobia
La Chapelle’s work has been described as surrealist, shocking and ironic. His use of celebrities
exaggerates aspects of their personalities and their personal lives, I have found some work to prove this.
