- First book by Mario Testino, a major star and one of photography's shrewdest eyes
- Contains provocative and unexpected images that brilliantly illuminate Testino's vision and sense of the absurd
- Explores such diverse subjects as fashion and the gutter, nature and artifice, high and low life, and includes faces of the famous, bodies of the beautiful, landscapes and cities, close friends and extraordinary passers-by
- An insight into the raw material of fashion where a glimpse of life from a street in Tangier can be the inspiration for a fashion story in New York
- Features full-page photographs that provoke diverse reactions: from shock to amusement and from surprise to delight
'His first book ... is an impressive tome of images culled from his charmed life. It's a travelogue of the people and places he has encountered, a glamorized vision of sex, the street and the absurd. It's Testino redefining his work and his image - pushing the parameters that little bit further.' (Vogue)
'Mario Testino's first book is jam-packed with fascinating behind-the-scenes photographs which provide an insight into the drive and inspiration that went into the creation of the familiar fashion editorials and advertising campaigns.' (Harper's and Queen)
Born in 1954 in Lima, Peru, Mario Testino moved to London in his twenties and became a fashion photographer. Today, his images appear regularly in Vogue and Vanity Fair and his name is synonymous with the cutting edge of style.
Patrick Kinmouth is a writer, artistic director and opera designer who has written extensively on photography. His publications include A Gardner's Labyrinth: portraits of people, plants and places (2003), Mario Testino Portraits (2002) and Alive/Mario Testino (Boston, 2001).
