Mario Testino Ciao

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential fashion and portrait photographers, Mario Testino is responsible for the creation of emblematic images, transmitting emotion and energy in an open and intimate way. Throughout his four-decade career, Testino has been on a journey beyond the world of fashion capturing Earth's traditions and cultures with unparalleled access and an extraordinarily unique point of view.

Peruvian by birth, Testino's intimate connection to Italy found its roots in his Italian heritage, but blossomed when he experienced the country for himself. Discovering Italy was, for Testino, synonymous with discovering his passion for fashion. "Rome was all about the hottest, latest trends and fresh new styling, and I loved the way Italians could shed the latest look for an even newer thing without ever losing their own identity."

In Ciao, Testino handpicks his favorite images of Italy, a country that has featured heavily in his life, from his friendships and breathtaking vistas to quintessentially Italian iconic fashion shoots and Italians' ever-evolving allure to their effervescent lifestyle. Featuring three sections, OUT AND ABOUT, IN FASHION, and AT SEA, the result is a highly personal journey across the country through Testino's lens paying homage to Italy, and it's culture as well as a chronicle of 40 years of genre-defining photography.
