Although David LaChapelle is famous for his grotesque and surreal photography, he has done a lot of work with videography as well. LaChapelle has released one documentary, Rize, featured in the trailer shown above. It is about blacks living in the inner city of Los Angeles, California, and their unique styles of dance that have spread country-wide. These dances, such as "krumping," help to bring kids together and keep them out of gangs.
LaChapelle's work does not stop there though. He also directed Elton John's concert, The Red Piano, as well as commercials for major companies such as Burger King, Tommy Hilfiger, L'Oréal, H&M, and TV show promotions for Channel 4. Links to some of these commercials can be found below:
Some of LaChapelle's photos are below as well, some featuring artists like Shakira and Britney Spears.
