Mario Testino, one of the world’s most successful fashion photographers, presented his new book
Mario de Janeiro Testino a couple of weeks ago in Rio de Janeiro.
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."
In his new book Testino captured candid images of famous and not so famous Brazilian people. The book includes photos of men and women in various state of undress.
Among famous celebs featured in the book are
Gisele Bundchen,
Isabeli Fontana ,
Emanuela De Paula,
Fernanda Lima,
Aline Moraes,
Ana Beatriz Barros and
Guisela Rhein.
