LaChapelle got his first break when Andy Warhol discovered him by way of Studio 54 and hired LaChapelle as a contributing photographer for Interview Magazine. Through his mastery of color, unique composition, and imaginative narratives, LaChapelle has expanded the genre of photography since 1980, becoming known and copied for his high-gloss and colorfully elaborate approach.
