“Being gored by an African black rhino wasn’t how I thought the shoot would go that day,” said celebrity and fashion photographer Cristopher Lapp, “… but thankfully I only broke my finger and got a whole new lease on life!”

Voted by Frontier Magazine as one of Los Angeles’ 25 brightest talents, celebrity and fashion photographer Cristopher Lapp has photographed some of the world’s most illustrious celebrities – Meryl Streep, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Giorgio Armani, and Karl Lagerfeld just to name a few. His work has appeared in Vogue, GQ, and “W” magazines. Cristopher’s career began with hands-on training in Milan, working in front of and behind the camera for several well-known fashion photographers. In 2004, Cristopher returned to Italy for an intensive post-baccalaureate in fashion photography at Adff/CLICK UP. Apprenticeships with the National Geographic and American Film Institutes were the precursors to Cristopher’s extensive photographic coverage of all seven continents. His portraits are collected by some of Hollywood’s most elite, including Sir Elton John and the late Michael Jackson. Cristopher is on the Board of the American Society of Media Photographers – Los Angeles, has taught photography at The Braille Institute for the Blind in Los Angeles, California, and also volunteers his photographic services to the Camp Laurel Foundation, a non-profit organization, serving children, youth and families living with HIV and AIDS.

INSTANT GRATIFICATION - 21st Century Art & the Mobile Phone Camera

26,000 Mobile Phone Images, Eight Dead Phones and Six Years in the Making…

The power of creating and sharing information is transforming art, culture, and communications, as we know it today. A global revolution has begun from the smallest of devices, the mobile phone and its inconspicuous camera. This book was made to show the relationship between privacy, individualism, and the temporal nature of art in the digital age through the convenience of the mobile phone camera. The future will obviously bring better technology and clearer images. But it is my belief that these images, for better or worse, will remain fleeting, by-products of a world society being taken over by powerful technology and the desire of instant gratification. (West Hollywood Books, 2010)
