Mario Testino: Portraits

MARIO TESTINO: PORTRAITS features the cream of the crop in our celebrity-obsessed age: Naomi Campbell, Jude Law, Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow-those whose names have become the hallmarks, almost the logos, of the fashion world. Testino's relationship with his subjects is simply and succinctly summed up by Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue: "People love to be photographed by Mario." His innate sense of fashion, which has made him the most sought-after contemporary photographer today, has transformed many of his portraits into icons.

Mario Testino came to London from Peru in the late 1970s and made his name in British, American, French and Italian Vogue and Vanity Fair. In his previous books - Any Objections, Front Row Back Stage and Alive - Testino captured moments of his life at the epicentre of fashion. This book assembles his work as a portrait photographer and image-maker for the first time, and by doing so reveals his penetrating ability to turn a face into a legend.
