On the 6th of October 2022, the fashion industry’s most cunning provocateur, photographer Steven Klein releases his highly anticipated first book with renowned publisher Phaidon. Klein is widely known as one of the most sought-after photographers in fashion, known for provocative images of some of the biggest monikers in music, fashion, and film, including Madonna, Kate Moss, Kim Kardashian, and Brad Pitt.
Klein has also shot advertising campaigns for some of fashion’s elite, such as Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, and Louis Vuitton, with his editorial making regular appearances in Vogue, i-D, Interview, and W magazines. By subverting the early tastes for manicured models and images, Klein changed fashion photography forever.

Klein instead introduced a sense of gender fluidity and eroticism that was unique. His gritty, transgressive photographs placed subjects in an enchanting and dark cinematic fantasy. The ominous settings Klein presents in his photography often indicate something dark and dangerous is lurking beneath the surface of the alluring imagery.
