David LaChapelle

I just saw a German documentary about the art/fashion photographer David LaChapelle, Its a free and very good steaming from the TV channel NRK. I liked seeing that he was still shooting his pictures with a analogue camera using good old 120 mm film rolls, and a polaroid picture to see the result at once. His pictures are truly remarkable. I like the way they are balancing on a line between realism, surrealism and popart. He has a very distinct expression and you can almost instantly see that a picture is his work. Even though he of course is working in the same tradition as Cindy Sherman, Jeff Wall and Gregory Crewdson.

Anyway here is a link to the documentary. Its pretty good. (Even though its a German film, they are almost just talking in English, with a Norwegian subtitle).
