i just read that David LaChapelle is suing Rihanna over her new video, which he claims is a direct rip off of some of his past images which i find bothersome for some reason and i started racking my brain for artists that LaChapelle has stolen from and then i thought maybe it’s not so much stealing more like being inspired from another artist which made me think that this is a perfect opportunity to honor one of my iconsĀ Helmut Newton because his work has been and forever will be an inspiration.
