Product Description
Deluxe, larger-format reissue of this collectible, long out-of-print book. The marriage of David LaChapelles vivid, high-octane images with graphic artist, Tadanori Yokoos super-saturated designs, is an astonishing showcase for the lollipop giddiness of the original. LaChapelle exaggerates the artificiality of fame and Hollywood culture in a head-on collision of color, plastic, and whimsy. His photographs challenge ideas of taste and celebrity, while taking us on a roller coaster ride through a hyper-sensationalized galaxy. L'il Kim becomes the ultimate status symbol, tattooed in the Louis Vuitton pattern. Madonna rises from pink waters as a mystical dragon princess. Pamela Anderson hatches out of an egg. The acclaimed Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century recognizes David LaChapelles 1996 LaChapelle Land as its 101st book. LaChapelle Land is packaged and produced by Callaway Editions.

 Great Seller February 21, 2008

Utmost synergism of fantasy, photography and art! January 15, 2007
After having bought David Lachapelle's "Heaven to Hell" in the Taschen bookshop in Berlin last november, I was flabbergasted by its content. Coming home I immediately surf to Amazon.com to order the other two books of this trilogy: "Lachapelle Land" and "Hotel Lachapelle". To me his work is the utmost synergism of fantasy, photography and art! For me, without doubt the most impressive and striking artbooks I bought in 2006!!

Imagination in action... March 12, 2006
How about photographing what your mind sees? That's the journey Lachapelle takes us in every picture. Lachapelle, along with a couple of other great photographers, is what I would call an acquired taste and a bi-polar one it is. Either you love it or you hate it...
Anyone interested in serious photography should have, at least as a reference, any of Lachapelle's books.
As for this one, all I have to say is that I enjoyed the journey. And what a journey it was...

I bought this book after being a fan of Lachapelle for a few years- and i've already got Hotel LaChapelle.This book doesn't really compare that well to Hotel Lachapelle, but its a good book to have if u want to document his work pre 1996, and although it has some stunning photographs, i was more impressed by the (presumably bigger budget) photos in Hotel Lachapelle, so. in a nutshell; if you trying to decide between this and His second book, get the second one, but this isnt a bad book to have.
A bit different from his more recent work January 22, 2006

I purchased this book after viewing David Lachapelle's website, and while it is certainly a decent collection of photographs, the photos lack some of the style that Lachapelle's more recent work has. If you are a fan of the work found on his website, then I would suggest Hotel Lachapelle instead of this book.
