David LaChapelle

Bio: Born 1963, March 11 in Connecticut, USA. He works in the fields of fashion, advertising, and fine art photography, and is noted for his surreal, unique and often humorous style. LaChapelle attended the North Carolina School of the Arts and School of Visual Arts in New York City. He was offered work by Andy Warhol, and has also worked for Rolling Stone, Vogue, GQ, Photo and Vanity Fair.

The last two photographs are portraits of Cameron Diaz, and Lady Gaga.
I find David LaChapelle's photographs so appealing because of their amazing colour, detail and quirky nature.
