{{About|the person|the painting|Perou (painting)}}

'''Perou''' (Ralph John Perou) is a professional photographer. He has worked with such bands and artists as Coldplay, Damien Hirst, David Beckham, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, the Spice Girls, Tracey Emin, [[Dita Von Teese]] and U2. He has been one of the premier photographers of [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] since 1998, with his most predominant period (from a fan's perspective) was during ''[[The Golden Age of Grotesque]]'', ''[[Lest We Forget – The Best Of|Lest We Forget]]'', ''[[Eat Me, Drink Me]]'' and ''[[Heaven Upside Down]]'' eras. He is also a member of the [[Celebritarian Corporation]]. Perou has stated in his online diary that Manson presented him with a unique Celebritarian Ring, featuring the Cross of Lorraine, constructed from black onyx and platinum, the only other of which Marilyn himself has; this seems to confirm an official affiliation with the movement.
