Phillip Johnson Portrait by David LaChapelle

Saw this awesome portrait of Philip Johnson over on archdaily the other week taken by fashion, advertising and fine art photographer David LaChapelle.

Philip Johnson (1906-2005) was one of the most influential American architects and  the inaugural Pritzker Prize winner back in 1979 (considered by many as the Nobel Prize of architecture).

I don’t know many old architect greats, let alone old men that would be into a light hearted photo shoot like this. Philip Johnson = champion.

Below is one of his most famous buildings, his personal residence, The Glass House, which was built in 1949.
