Photographer Shows Madonna Before Her Fame In 1983 (29 Pics)

[FfFfFfFF 54,429]

Throughout her career, Madonna achieved so many things and her works have been praised by many music critics. She has also sparked controversy but still inspired and influenced many other artists. What’s even more impressive is that the now 61-year-old artist is present in the music industry more than ever, creating hit songs and surprising crowds with her amazing performances. But have you ever imagined what she was like before all the fame and before she was a pop music icon?

In 1983, professional photographer Richard Corman didn’t know how famous Madonna was about to become. Nor did Madonna (or at least how big she was going to be). Little did anyone know but when they met in New York, Corman found her to be a fascinating and worthwhile subject for his portraiture photography. “She was unlike anyone I had met prior and had a fearless sense of determination that I so respected!  She was amazing as she was trying to establish herself, and was very much a part of a movement of creativity where the more you pushed, the more it yielded – and there were so many young artists all pushing at once” – remembered the photographer.  At that time, Madonna was just a 24-year-old young woman who wanted to become successful and change the world with her art. In his later published photography book “Madonna NYC 83”, he shows the music icon at the beginning of her long musical journey, just months before she rose to fame with her eponymous album.

I feel like those images may have also been from when they shot the video for Borderline. I think that was her first single from the debut album.

It looks so, but it was the fourth single.  Tbh all her first videos blur together () so I had to google how Borderline looked but it's obvious that was the MV set.

She looks so much like my auntie when she was young

Spoiler

Their fathers are from the same region in Italy tho so

Also, the way she looks so current and modern even though the pics are from almost 4 decades before.

These clothes are not drastically different than what 14 years girl would wear today.
