Summary: LaChappelle Land is such eye-candy
Review: 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.

Summary: David Lachapelle Rocks!
Review: Lachapelle is one of my favorite contemporary photographers. His use of color is outstanding. Between the excellent technical quality of his work, and the whimsical (and sometimes arousing) subject matter, there is nothing about this book that is unenjoyable! I find the fact that not one of his images was digitally created or even enhanced to be a testimony to his talent and artistic vision.

Summary: Glamour and Glitz is David's Calling...
Review: 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!

Summary: HIPNOTICALLY BEAUTIFUL
Review: 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.
