Mario Testino

Mario Testino was born in Lima (Peru) in a family from Irish, spanishand italian descendants. At the beginning of the 80s he moved to London where he started to work as a photographer. Before this he had studied 3 University degrees, Economy, International Relations and Law. 


His photography is characterized by elegance and erotism. As part os his portfolio is the Pirelli calendar from which I have showed some pictures in this blog before. Also he has shot many icons such as Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gisele Bündchen, Liz Hurley, Catherine Zeta Jones, John Galliano.


In 1997 he took portraits of Lady D, 5 months before she died for a Vanity Fair story. The pictures filled with glamour went around the world and through this he established himself as a world known photographer. In the following is a little collection of some of my favorite pictures from him:
