Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 'Lady Gaga inspired LaChapelle to get back into shooting celebrities for magazines. David LaChapelle' In the eyes of David LaChapelle, Lady Gaga is a nude bubble goddess presiding over a pink-tinted orgy. Kanye West is Jesus Christ resurrected only to wear the crown of thorns once again. His non-celebrity work is equally surreal: oil refineries are beautiful cityscapes, gas stations are beacons in the jungle and the apocalypse is set in Las Vegas (which perhaps is less surreal and more likely). There are a lot of photos you shot for us in the books. What do you like about shooting for Rolling Stone? I like working with musicians, number one [laughs]. Rolling Stone's a milestone for a photographer to work for. To get a cover is a very important thing for a photographer. The last one I did was Paris Jackson [in February 2017]. It was Rolling Stone that got me back in to doing magazine work, 'cause when I started work for galleries again 10 years ago, I wasn't interested in pop stars. I felt like I had done that. But my friend told me about this singer – "You have to come see this girl, she's amazing" – and it turned out to be Lady Gaga. We hit it off and became friends, and she came to Maui and asked if I would shoot her for Rolling Stone. So I did her first cover. I said, "This is fun. I can do galleries and occasionally photograph people who are interesting." What do you remember about that Gaga shoot with the bubbles? It was a blast. I always have lots of setups in one day, and we shot a bunch of different things. She was up for anything, and it's always exciting to see someone right in the beginning.
