Product Information

Mario Testino OBE is widely regarded as one of the most influential fashion and portrait photographers of our times. He has documented subjects from A-list stars, supermodels and artists, to subjects that he has encountered throughout his travels, from magnificent cities by night to mysterious landscapes and private soirees. Testino’s visionary approach to his photography, which oozes with glamour, color, life and sex appeal, has put him at the center of fashion photography from Gucci to Versace, Valentino to Ralph Lauren. His Peruvian heritage acts as a subtle influence, bringing another dimension of vivacity to his artworks. a b c d e Farndale, Nigel (24 February 2009). "Mario Testino: 'it's not all glamour' " .
