Testino's Private View

Mario Testino has become a celebrity in his own right, having created iconic images of the Royal family and of a wide range of stars from the music and film industries. But fashion remains a key platform for him and my favourite photographs have been published by major glossy magazines.

Testino can create an atmosphere of sophistication and glamour in a unique way with a precise and harmonious combination of light, colour and background. Whenever he points his camera at someone, somehow the person is transformed revealing an unseen inner strength.

Testino's latest book - Private View -  published by Taschen, celebrates his inaugural exhibition in China, bringing together an exciting selection of his best work. It is best suited for those who are not so familiar with his work and want to have a record of hundreds of iconic pictures brought together.

There is an amazing shot of Karlie Kloss, the darling of the fashion industry, which captures her particular vividness and enthusiasm. You can appreciate his latest fashion contribution internationally. Testino has been working with Burberry for over a decade and his latest advertising campaign is simply classy!
