Book Reviews of Mario de Janeiro Testino
Book Review: Mario peruvian genius Testino
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not perhaps terribly drawn to Testino's often conventional, clean, almost digital looking commercial work but do not be deceived - what he does other than for commercial gain is nothing less than stunning.
All his books are a must each in their own way, even including his mini kids' portraits book, but Mario De Janeiro Testino is perhaps his finest. Clearly personal, often sexual but always technically & artistically extremely interesting... perhaps above all... beautiful. Quite simply an essential purchase for photographers or photography fans.
Summary of Mario de Janeiro Testino
Inspired by the girls from CopacabanaMario Testino is one of the world's most successful fashion and portrait photographers, whose images are noted for their freshness and intimacy. Peruvian by birth, Testino has been fascinated by Rio de Janeiro since his earliest summer vacations. When I was 14, on holiday, and going from my house to the beach and seeing everyone walk everywhere in their tiny bathing suits the girls and boys were so sexy and carefree and wild I just could not believe it. This easy sensuality, sexual freedom and lust for life left a deep impression; Testino has been going back ever since, for work and fun, passion and inspiration. Featuring candid shots of exquisite cariocas baring nubile flesh, including supermodel Gisele Bundchen, MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino captures the essence of this incomparably seductive city and its sultry citizens. From its breathtaking sunset panoramas, to the throbbing chaos of its world-famous carnival, this is Testino s love poem to the Brazilian metropolis that captured his teenage heart, and never let go.
Features include:
Foreword by songwriter and singer Caetano Veloso
Introduction by actress/TV personality Regina Case
Essay by supermodel Gisele Bundchen
Softcover with plastic jacket for beach reading available in yellow, orange or red, inspired by Rio s glorious sunsets!
