Madonna OUT Magazine Photos

The April issue of Out magazine features a vintage Madonna photoshoot. The previously unpublished photos of the legendary singer were taken by Richard Corman in 1982.

In an article titled, "I Shot Madonna", Corman writes,

In the summer of 1982 [my mother] was casting The Last Temptation of Christ for Martin Scorsese and called me to say they had just tested a girl for the part of the Virgin Mary. She said, "You must meet this girl -- she's an original." ...

So I got this girl's number and called. It was Madonna. At the time she was living in Alphabet City, and she suggested I go to her apartment and chat about what I wanted to do. I had to call her from a phone booth across the street, because the neighborhood was full of drug dealers, and they didn't let people just walk in and out. There was a group of kids outside the building, on the stoop, in the hallways, and when I said I was there for Madonna the seas parted.

I looked up the staircase, and I saw this girl leaning over the edge of the banister, and even from three stories below I could see these catlike eyes just looking down. I knew at that moment that she had something special -- I really did.
