Markus Klinko shares photo shoot plans with Mariah Carey in new Article

Markus Klinko, world famous and incredibly iconic photographer, has recently spoken to Hello Fashion Magazine about his experience working with some of music’s largest icons. After reminiscing over his expansive portfolio including Beyoncé’s Dangerously In Love album shoot and Britney Spear’s Onyx Tour promo shoot, he touched on his legendary work with the queen of music herself, Mariah Carey. He was the photographer behind the magic of The Emancipation Of Mimi photo shoot and The Adventures of Mimi tour shoot.

Hello Magazine wrote,

“Working with Mariah "happened in such an unexpected way," however, revealed  Markus, sharing how he received a call late one night while eating dinner, only for his agent to tell him that Mariah was on the other line and she "wanted to speak to me immediately". 

“The singer had decided that she wanted to take the photographs the following day, and knew exactly what she wanted, referring to a Wolford campaign Markus had shot that was, at the time, in all the magazines.

"It was certainly a moment. It was this superhero image of a model, and Mariah wanted exactly that same pose," said Markus. "It was interesting though, because she is such an icon but it felt wrong to me to grant that request and [produce] a copy of my own work – but it became something else and it really marked that year. It was the most successful album of 2005 and I think the most successful album of her career." 

And now the magic gold nugget we have been waiting for, Hello shared this snippet from their interview with Kilnko-

‘Markus is now preparing to photograph Mariah again ahead of her 2024 Las Vegas residency, "as she's using all the Mimi pictures" for inspiration. “
