Mert Alas is one of the most prolific and influential photographers in fashion.
I like getting people together, Alas toldVogueabout why he was personally hosting an early Valentines Day party.
Shayk, who has worked with Alas numerous times, was among the first notable guests to arrive.
She spent the majority of the get-together with Alas lounging on a sofa.
The two shared laughs, and at one point, Alas conducted a mini photo shoot.
He snapped photos of Shayk and her female friend using an iPhone.
Mert is a very special person to me.
He really knows how to bring all people together.
Just before the clock struck midnight, Madonna strolled in with some friends.
She was in a great mood and excited to reunite with him.
They were deep in conversation and she would talk directly into his ear.
Soon, nightlife personality Ladyfag joined their chat.
Once she finished her mini-concert, Madonna applauded enthusiastically.
With the drinks flowing and the good vibes, Alas knows how to host a crowd-pleasing soiree.
