Mario Testino

Photographer Mario Testino’s compelling fashion and celebrity photographs present an inside look at some of today’s most elusive and exclusive subjects. Known for illustrating fashion, elegance, sex, and nudity with unique aesthetic and stylistic range, Testino has created iconic images for international publications, such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, and V, and major fashion advertising campaigns for Burberry, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Versace. (He recently dished to the Guardian that he also shoots Anna Wintour’s passport photos. And why not?)
