Some call him The Godfather of the fashion industry. He has photographed every cover of Vogue American and Italia for the last 20 years and has worked with innumerable models and celebrities to produce beauty. Today we take a look at his work with Madonna, some which belongs to her explicit and successful photo book Sex.

Madonna can be considered the most controversial and influential pop singer of the 21st century. They say the minute these two extravagant artists met there was an instant ‘click’. In 1992 the two collaborated on the table book Sex, where Madonna displayed her sexual self for the world to see, through Meisel’s lens. It became the most successful coffee table book to be ever sold.

Besides Steven Meisel’s endless work for Vogue, Sex is clearly one of his most admired work of art. These are only a few of some of our favourite shots.
