Photography: Working with Madonna. Photography by Steven Klein.

Steven Klein did a photo shoot with the Pop Queen Madonna in 2006. It was called "Madonna Rides Again" for W Magazine. This is the second collaboration between the star and Klein after their work in 2003 called "Madonna Unbound". The photo session consists of a 58-page portfolio showing that the singer has completely recovered from her horse-riding accident just seven months ago. The celebrity was strongly affected by the accident: she had multiple body fractures and found herself emotionally distressed. Anyhow, at the age of 47 though, Madonna is still willing to push the envelope, even more than before. Her relationship with the animal world is as strong as ever, her womanhood and provocativeness remain unchanged.

For a long time now Madonna has been not simply a pop celebrity, but also a fashion icon. She's worked with designers like Marc Jacobs and served as a model for brands like Louis Vuitton. These photographs are a manifestation of her affinity towards fashion and an affirmation for her role as a fashion trend-setter. In fact, some of the clothing and accessories that appear in the photo shoot are provided by Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce&Gabbana, DSquared, Jean Paul Gaultier.
