Published June 12, 2023
June 1, Los Angeles – Acclaimed photographer David Christopher Lee announced the sale of celebrity portraits of Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg as digital collectibles on the newly launched Illuminate.art. Collectors will be able to purchase these NFTs on June 1 through Illuminate.art’s user-friendly platform, which accepts credit cards or cryptocurrency. Throughout the month of June, David Christopher Lee will partner with Illuminate.art to sell other celebrity portraits as NFTs. Digital collectors will have the opportunity to purchase these NFTs associated with photoshoots, photography classes and a red carpet event.
“Celebrity portraits have the power to mirror and shape our cultural zeitgeist,” said David Christopher Lee. “Selling this work as digital collectibles celebrates the impact of these timeless icons while preserving these moments in pop culture history on the blockchain.”
As a portrait photographer and producer, David has worked with many celebrities and big brands such as Richard Branson, Lady Gaga, Cadillac, Lexus, Qatar Airways, Aman Hotels. David’s work has been published in major magazines such as GQ, Vogue, Instyle, People, Teen, Men’s Health, Departures and many more.
The NFT collection will be linked to unique opportunities for the collector. Digital collectors can purchase a self-portrait by David Christopher Lee that is linked to a photo shoot with the master photographer. Throughout the month of June, four celebrity digital collectibles will be linked to access to four different portrait classes taught by David Christopher Lee.
Collectors of four David Christopher Lee celebrity portraits will also receive an invitation to an exclusive Hollywood celebrity red carpet event through a partnership with Hollywood film and television producer and actress Darcy Donavan. This event is tied to multi-million dollar films produced in conjunction with #CryptoQueen’s own NFT project, StarDawgs. In exchange, collectors who have one of Darcy Donavan’s exclusive “Director” StarDawgs NFTs will receive an hour and a half with David Christopher Lee.
“In both of our respective projects, we offer intrinsically valuable NFTs supported with incredible IRL tools. Through this partnership with Illuminate, we showcase NFTs that open educational, professional and personal doors,” said Darcy Donavan.
Established artists Peter Halasz, Saxon Chang, Sari Esserman and George Mullen will also participate in the Illuminate.art launch and will release several artworks. Klaus Moeller will also provide access to images in his digital archive of iconic celebrity photos.
