Mario Testino, Let me in
Inside the circle: Behind-the-scenes photos of celebrities by the fashion world's favorite photographer
As one of the 21st century`s most travelled, acclaimed, and influential fashion photographers, Mario Testino has unsurpassed access to the most magnetic stars of popular culture. For some time now he has been collecting a personal archive of off-screen moments, often snatched spontaneously before, during, and after more official sittings for Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Testino`s many clients in the world of fashion. The result is a portrait not just of a generation of the most wanted and talked-about, but an invitation to be part of the backstage parties and unstaged moments of Testino`s life. Sometimes offbeat, but always on the pulse, Let me in!, with Testino`s eye for a modern kind of elegance liberated from conventional polish, is a new chapter from the photographer who has already made his mark with the books Any Objections, Front Row Backstage, Alive, Portraits, Kids, Diana Princess of Wales, and numerous exhibitions and publications worldwide.
Features include:
• Introduction by Michael Roberts, fashion director of Vanity Fair
• Foreword by Nicole Kidman
• 300 pages in color and black and white featuring more than 100 contemporary stars
About the photographer:

Mario is an Honorary Doctor of the University of the Arts London and has recently received the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award for his outstanding contribution to the world of fashion and entertainment.

„Ihre VIP-Karte in der Welt der Reichen und Schönen ist dieser Bildband von Mario Testino. Der in Lima geborene Fotograf ist dabei kein Paparazzo, sondern einer der bekanntesten Fashion-Fotografen der Welt. Also gibt’s keine Skandale, sondern umso mehr Ästhetik, Allüren – und jede Menge Erotik.“
