Photographer David LaChapelle has been blasting eye-popping, color-saturated, celebrity-studded photographs out into the world since Andy Warhol first hired him on at Interview Magazine in the 1980s.LaChapelle, 59, had run away from his home at just 15 and found work as a busboy at the notorious Studio 54, where he watched celebrities cavort and carry on with famous abandon. Though his parents eventually fetched him back home, Chapelle returned to at 18 and called on those days at Studio 54 to inspire the innovative art he produced.'I like to see celebrities behaving in front of my camera the way they did at Studio 54. They were wild,' LaChapelle told in 1996. 'Caution was thrown to the disco wind machine.'
