MY FIRST TIME
THE CREATIVE ICONS OF TODAY ALL STARTED SOMEWHERE. HERE, THEY SHARE THE IMAGES AND STORIES OF THEIR EAGER BEGINNINGS. LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT.
MERT ALAS AND MARCUS PIGGOTT,
PHOTOGRAPHERS
VISIONAIRE 26 FANTASY, 1998
“We did these two pictures and then they [Visionaire] wanted to do more. So we ended up with six pictures to our name that were properly finished, not just contact sheets. We made a series of images with McQueen’s collection for the FANTASY issue. Before it even came out, these two different agents called us: ‘Can we see your book?’”
