'Of all the photographers inventing surreal images, it is
Mr. LaChapelle who has the potential to be the genre's Magritte'

Helmut is not very impressed by current photography. 'There's a lot of pornographic pictures taken by the young today' he said. "There's a magazine, Purple.' He frowned. 'A lot of nudity is just gratuitous. But someone who makes me laugh is David LaChapelle. I think he’s very bright, very funny and good'. Marijoli's bikinis was a great succes with Italians scene!
