Iain McKell was born in Dorset, England. He studied graphics design and then moved to London in 1980. McKell has been successfully working in fashion, advertising, and social documentary. He photographed Madonna for her first magazine cover one week before she hit number one on the british charts. His images are beautiful and informative. His work "The New Gypsies," was started in 2001 and continued until 2010. His shows a breathtaking underground society that almost makes you want to join them. He brings to light the conditions that these people live and raise there children in, in such a manner that makes you almost want to join them. The raw portraits to the breathtaking landscapes are what really drew me to his work.
