Photographer • New York, USA

Laspata DeCaro is the photographic partnership of Rocco Laspata and Charles DeCaro, who have worked together since 1985. Best known for their fashion photography, the duo developed a cinematic and often provocative style that brought a strong sense of narrative into the world of editorial and fashion imagery.

Over several decades, Laspata DeCaro built close working relationships with many of the defining supermodels of the era, including Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford. Their photographs often feel less like conventional fashion images and more like scenes from a film, with character, atmosphere and story playing as important a role as the clothes themselves.

Their work has been recognised within fashion history, including selection by the International Center of Photography among important fashion images of the 1990s. Laspata DeCaro also appear in connection with The Super Models, the Apple TV+ documentary series exploring the careers of Evangelista, Turlington, Campbell and Crawford.

Today, their limited-edition fine art photographs include images of Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and other major figures from fashion and popular culture. Works by Laspata DeCaro are available through The PhotoGallery.

    Discover the world of Laspata DeCaro

    Laspata DeCaro is two people. Rocco Laspata takes the picture and Charles DeCaro decides what the picture should be, and they have worked that way for decades on campaigns for Blackglama and Americana Manhasset among others.

    The work here is black and white and mostly from the fashion world, with Linda Evangelista appearing more often than anyone. Advertising photography does not usually survive the season it was made for. This did.
