Donna DeMari is an international fashion photographer and the first woman to shoot Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue. Self-taught, she began her career in Milan at nineteen and quickly rose to prominence, contributing to Italian Vogue, French Marie Claire, British Elle, and more. For over fifteen years, she worked between Milan, Paris, and London, photographing icons like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Tyra Banks.

After returning to the U.S., DeMari expanded her lens to include equine subjects, blending fashion’s elegance with her intimate style. Her horse photography caught the attention of Ralph Lauren, and her images now grace the walls and windows of RL stores worldwide, from Madison Avenue to Seoul.
