Since the early 1990s, Platon has continued to shoot fashion, portrait and documentary work for a range of international publications, including The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Harpers Bazaar, Esquire, GQ, Vanity Fair, Newsweek, Premiere, Arena, The Face, i-D, The Sunday Telegraph, The Observer and The Sunday Times. His advertising credits include campaigns for Motorola, Nike, Converse, Verizon, Vittel, Levi’s, IBM, Rolex, Ray-Ban, Tanqueray, Kenneth Cole, Issey Miyake, Moschino, Timex, Verizon, and Bertelsmann among others.
2004 has seen the release of Platon's first monograph "Platon's Republic" published by Phaidon Press. He also had large solo portrait exhibitions at the Milk Gallery in NYC and the Ex-Saatchi gallery in London. The first solo show of Platon's documentary work from around the world was held in April at the Leica Gallery in NYC. He also has been exhibited at Hamilton’s Gallery in London, Spiral Hall in Tokyo and the Carla Sozzani Gallery in Milan.
DAVID LACHAPELLE

LaChapelle attended the North Carolina School of the Arts and the School of the Arts in New York City. His first photograph was of his single mother, Helga LaChapelle, on a family vacation in Puerto Rico. She wore a bikini and held a martini glass on a balcony. From then on he was obsessed with photography. His first professional job as a photographer was offered by Andy Warhol for Interview magazine. LaChapelle has four published books of his photographs, LaChapelle Land and Hotel LaChapelle, both containing vivid and bizarre portraits of celebrities such as Marilyn Manson, Drew Barrymore and Uma Thurman.
The perfect way to describe Lachapelles work is:
Gorgeous. Outrageous. Wildly colorful. David LaChapelle's unfettered images have redefined the way editors look at their magazines and turned fashion on its head. Mixing glamour with comic fantasy, LaChapelle's work never fails to surprise and delight.
