Then I got this idea in my head that magazines were like a gallery and if you got your magazine page ripped out and someone stuck it on their refrigerator, then that was a museum โ someoneโs private museum.
David LaChapelleMy biggest advice would be to take the pictures you want to take. Donโt think about the marketplace, what sells or what an editor might say. And donโt think about style. Itโs all bullshit and surface stuff. Style happens.
David LaChapelleWe have the ability to make the connection, make the time to pray and meditate. We have to find our inner voice that will guide us. But we can only find it if we get quiet.
David LaChapelleIt's much harder to work for yourself, by yourself, than to create work for a gallery, because there are no limits and you can do anything you want. It's always easier when you have a parameter, when you have a limit. You can work within the limit and push it and walk the line, but when you're given absolutely no limits, it's harder. You must really think. It's more challenging.
