Steven Meisel

Steven Meisel is an American fashion photographer, who obtained popularity and critical acclaim with his work in the US and Italian Vogue and his photographs of friend Madonna in her 1992 book Sex.

Fashion photography has always excited me and I have always been infatuated with Italian Vogue so it was only right I choose someone who has been working with the company since 1988.

Having photographed every single cover of Italian Vogue from 1988 to today as well as every Prada campaign since 2004, Steven Meisel is one of today’s most important photographers. He is best known for his controversial fashion editorials, like the one of model’s in a mental institute for Italian Vogue, but his portfolio also includes commercial images for clients like Barneys New York, Perry Ellis, Valentino, Versace, and the Gap. The American photographer is also close with celebrities, and in addition to shooting with Mick Jagger, Tina Turner and Whitney Houston among many others, he is the one behind Madonna’s 1984 album, Like a Virgin
