    Famed Photographer David Christopher Lee to Give Away NFTs of Iconic Photos Over the Month of June

    Celebrity photographer David Christopher Lee announced giveaways of several iconic photos turned NFTs over the month of June – including one of Kim Kardashian. This NFT giveaway is part of the launch of Illuminate Art, an executive talent management service for experienced artists who understand the significance of having a digital presence and virtual community.

    “Increasing access to art and finding innovative ways to engage with a virtual community were driving forces in my decision to turn several of my celebrity portraits into NFTs,” said David Christopher Lee. “These giveaways expand opportunities for collectors to own works that represent a moment in our pop culture consciousness.”

    To participate in these giveaways, follow David Christopher Lee (@davidchristopherlee) and @illuminate.art_ on instagram, and tag three friends on an @illuminate.art_ post. Ten winners will be selected for each of the NFT giveaways throughout the month of June.

    Klaus Moeller will also be providing exclusive access to photos in his digital archive of over 20 million iconic celebrity photos. Initially a fine art photographer, Klaus began acquiring archives of celebrity photos such as his acquisition of rare vintage negatives from RKO studio.

    “Celebrity images are as timeless as NFTs, and NFTs have also changed the way we collect and interact with art,” Klaus Moeller said. “Fusing the concepts of art, celebrity and NFTs seemed like a natural fit with the white-label NFT agency illuminate.art. Through this partnership, we are providing NFTs with pop art elements of cinematic legends Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Fonda.”

    Post-impressionistic painter Sari Esserman also provided pieces for the launch of illuminate.art.

    “NFTs deconstruct the idea of how people view, engage with and own art, which is why I was excited to participate in this cataclysmic evolution in creative expression,” Sari Esserman said.

    David Christopher Lee to Sell NFT Celebrity Portraits of Snoop Dog and Lady Gaga, Which Will be Linked to Exclusive Interactive Opportunities

    Renowned photographer David Christopher Lee announced the sale of celebrity portraits of Lady Gaga and Snoop Doggas digital collectibles on the newly launched Illuminate.art. Collectors will be able to purchase these NFTs on June 1st through Illuminate.art‘s user-friendly platform, which accepts credit card or cryptocurrency. Throughout the month of June, David Christopher Lee will be partnering with Illuminate.art to sell other celebrity portraits as NFTs. Digital collectors will have the opportunity to buy these NFTs connected to 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 body of work as digital collectibles celebrates the impact of these timeless icons while also preserving these moments in pop culture history on the block chain.”

    As a portrait photographer and producer, David has worked with many celebrities & major 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 & many more.

    The NFT collection will be connected to unique opportunities for the collector. Digital collectors can purchase a self portrait of David Christopher Lee that is tied to a photoshoot with the master photographer. Throughout the month of June, four digital collectibles of celebrities will be tied to access to four different portraiture classes taught by David Christopher Lee.

    Collectors of four David Christopher Lee celebrity portraits will also receive an invite to an exclusive Hollywood red carpet celebrity event through a collaboration with Hollywood Film and Television Producer and Actress Darcy Donavan. This event is connected to multi-million-dollar films produced in conjunction with the #CryptoQueen’s own NFT Project, StarDawgs. In exchange, collectors who hold one of Darcy Donavan’s exclusive, “Director” StarDawgs NFTs will receive an hour and a half photoshoot with David Christopher Lee.

    “In both of our respective projects, we offer inherently valuable NFTs backed with incredible IRL utilities. Through this partnership with Illuminate, we are showcasing NFTs that open educational, professional and personal doors,” Darcy Donavan said.

    Established artists Peter Halasz, Saxon Chang, Sari Esserman, and George Mullen will also be participating in the Illuminate.art launch and will be releasing more art pieces. Klaus Moeller will also be providing access to photos in his digital archive of iconic celebrity photos.

    These portraits kick off the launch of Illuminate.art.
