About this photograph
This image, part of Feingold’s “lollipop series,” captures a 25 year-old Madonna ahead of her self-titled debut album in 1982, which would go on to peak at number eight on the billboard charts. According to Feingold, “this shot only took twenty minutes. We were each on the cusp of our careers… she was made up already and had so much charisma.”

About the photographer
Deborah Feingold began her photography career in an unusual darkroom: a Boston prison cell, where she taught troubled youth in the early 1970s. This experience cemented her belief in the camera's power for self-expression and communication, laying the groundwork for her distinguished career. Moving to New York City in 1976, Feingold quickly rose to prominence with her iconic portraits of music legends such as Chet Baker, B.B. King, James Brown, Bono, and Madonna. Her ability to put subjects at ease resulted in intimate, enduring images that have appeared in Rolling Stone, Time, Newsweek, and The New York Times. Feingold's work, featured in her 2014 book "Music" and the PBS special "Icon: Music Through the Lens," continues to inspire and influence the world of music photography.
