IMAGES FROM DAVID LACHAPELLE’S LOST + FOUND AND GOOD NEWS.
LOST + FOUND, PART 1 and GOOD NEWS, PART 2 Photography by David LaChapelle
Prepare to have your mind blown by two new books from LaChapelle. Ten years in the making and published simultaneously, these are the fourth and fifth instalments of LaChapelle’s five-book anthology following LaChapelle Land (1996), Hotel LaChapelle (1999), and Heaven To Hell (2006).
Lost + Found, Part I is a visual recording of the times we live in and the issues we face, expressed through LaChapelle’s signature colour-saturated style and the extraordinary tableaux that he mounts. The images feature a vast array of celebrities, often as you have never seen them before in extraordinary poses, settings, costumes or no costume at all.
