CINDY CRAWFORD was cast by photographer Steve Landis for her first magazine cover back in late July 1984 in Paris. . . . Steve met Cindy Crawford at a small birthday party for another ELITE model, Stephanie Seymour at the Paris restaurant CHEZ FERNAND. Steve recalls that ”It was an incredible evening if you really think about it, here at the same table together, and all just beginning their careers were three girls who would become the very definition of the word supermodel.“ (The third and perhaps greatest model of the three was Linda Evangelista, whom Steve Landis had already cast and booked for a hosiery advertising promotion with British VOGUE.

See Cindy Crawford’s first cover and the “afiche”  (poster) that hung in the streets all over Paris to promote the issue.  20Ans is a hip magazine for teenage girls in France.  Over the years many girls who went on to much bigger fame got their start on the cover of 20Ans.

About me, the photographer . .
"I shoot photographs for a living, but this means nothing in the grand scheme of things.  I've had my ups and downs.  We all do.  But there is one constant through out, that is the Word of God.  The God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob, is alive, endures forever and is truth.  That truth is the Word, which is the Bible and through the person of Jesus, the Messiah, through whom we are able to have redemption and forgiveness from sin, and a relationship with our Father.  This relationship is what enables us to receive inner peace, even in the midst of turmoil.  If not for my relationship with Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who is the living, risen, Son of God, I would be nothing and have nothing." - Steve Landis
