Steven Meisel is without doubt, one of the most influential fashion photographers of our times. Shooting explosive and emotional works for the very best in the world of fashion, his work features regularly in both US and Italian Vogue, and lately W (also published by Condé Nast).
Even at a young age, Meisel drew women all the time. He used to turn to magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar as sources of inspiration for his drawings. At 12 years old he asked some girlfriends to call model agencies and, by pretending to be secretaries of Richard Avedon, to get pictures of the models. To meet famous model Twiggy, the 12-year-old Meisel stood outside waiting for her at Melvin Sokolsky's studio.
By juxtaposing fashion and politics and/or social standards, Meisel creates controversial and stunning layouts. Fashion’s superstar photographer is the force behind some of the most press-stirring fashion editorials in the past years. Here are some of his works from some well-known shoots.

He is incredibly talented. In that last shot I don't know how the model kept that pose long enough to be photographed.
Yes he is really fabulous, I don't think photographers get the credit they deserve, he is definitely working in the realm of his passion! xo
Meisel is really great,
good selection!

What I love about his work is that he pushes boundaries... like lately in a shot for Vogue Italia which looked incredibly grungy and haphazard. Only when you looked closer you could see the thought and work that had gone into the pictures. He's very inspiring!
the under water shot is beautiful! he is soo talented
Pratistha,

I love his works. It's never just about fashion but there's always some kind of social commentary involved. And you can tell that he's wanting to say something.
I think his photos can be quite controversial sometimes and although I'm a huge fan, I don't always like his ideas. xoxoxoo
i absolutely love the mud ones - this is such an incredible idea that juxtaposes the object being photographed (fashion) -fb X
The Steven Meisel work is like a dream.. love all the pictures!!!
