The Christmas List: Mario de Janeiro Testino… by Mario Testino

Another fabulous book from Mario Testino!
“Mario 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.  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.” Sexy. Not out till December so it’s definitely for The Christmas List!
