His fascination for beauty and models started at a young age. He studied at the High School of Art and Design [NYC] and Parsons School of Design [NYC] where he majored in fashion illustration.
One of Meisel's first jobs was to work for fashion designer Halston as an illustrator. Meisel never thought he could become a photographer. Later on, while working at Women's Wear Daily as an illustrator, he went to Elite model agency where two girls working there allowed him take pictures of some of their models. 
Some of these models took their pictures to Seventeen magazine to show their model books and the people at Seventeen subsequently called Meisel and asked if he wanted to work with them.Meisel currently works for many different fashion magazines, including fashion bibles such as US and Italian Vogue, amongst others. He has been the only photographer for Italian Vogue's cover for almost 15 years.
