steven meisel


- Considered one of the most successful Fashion Photographers ever lived, Steven Meisel first gained acclaim for his photography of friend Madonna and his work in Italian Vogue.
- His campaign cv includes shoots for Versace, Valentino, Dolce & Gabanna, Calvin Klein, all the Prada campaigns since 2004, Anna Sui and models including Gemma Ward, Saha Pivarova, Coco Rocha, essica Stam and Snejsns Onopka, all of which have featured in his Prada work.
- The examples shown above are some of the most accomplished images from his Dolce & Gabanna campaigns. Meisel manages to create a scene where the models are so polished that they almost look like mannequins. Everything about these photos are beautiful, the clothes, the scene, the models, everything! I love them- they are intriguing, interesting, unusual, memorable and just very well captured.  A lot of thought and preparation would go into shoots like these, especially when there are multiple models and unusual settings to consider, and every time Meisel pulls it off. He really is a great photographer and anyone interested in photography or fashion should check out more of his work.

I've always loved the D&G ad campaigns, and now thanks to you I know who it is that shoots them. The level of detail in the campaigns is amazing, you can only imagine how long it takes to get the arrangement perfect. I also like the fact that even though the models are all straight faced the positioning of them is humourous.
