Born 1954 in New York City, American fashion photographer Steven Meisel studied at the High School of Art and Design and Parsons The New School for Design where he attended different courses but, as affirmed in an interview with Ingrid Sischy for Vogue France, he finally majored in fashion illustration.
One of Meisel’s first jobs was to work for fashion designer Halston as an illustrator. He never thought he could become a photographer. Meisel currently works for many different fashion magazines, most notably Interview and US and Italian Vogue.
Meisel obtained popularity and critical acclaim with his work in US and Italian Vogue. He is now considered one of the most successful fashion photographers in the industry, shooting regularly for both US and Italian Vogue, and lately W (also published by Condé Nast) and British Vogue.
These stunning photos are part of his work that Steven Meisel took portrait of Madonna for Versace in 1995.
