Critical Praise

"A wild new selection of images from the bad boy of contemporary photography. Guests include Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ewan McGregor, Pamela Anderson, Drew Barrymore, Marilyn Manson, Mike Myers, Lil' Kim, Uman Thurman, Cher, Naomi Campbell, Cameron Diaz, and more. David LaChapelle is the Fellini of photography. David LaChapelle should have his should have his artistic license suspended." -New York magazine

"Mr. LaChapelle is certain to influence the work of a new generation of photographers in the same way that Mr. Avedon pioneered so much of what is familiar today." -Amy Spindler, The New York Times.

"David LaChapelle is as creatively fertile as 30s rule breaker Salvador Dali. He delights in taking sex and voyeurism and giving them an outrageous, unmistakably contemporary twist." -Ingrid Sischy, Interview.

"It was only a matter of time before the talented LaChapelle got himself in hot water." -Liz Smith, New York Post.

"He's changing the fashion in which we see fashion." -Today Show

"David LaChapelle takes a licking and keeps on clicking one of the world's hottest image makers." -The Advocate
