Inspired by the boys and girls from Copacabana
Mario Testino is one of the world's most successful fashion and portrait photographers, whose images are noted for their freshness and intimacy.

"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."

Featuring candid shots of exquisite cariocas baring nubile flesh, including supermodel Gisele Bündchen, MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino captures the essence of this incomparably seductive city and its sultry citizens.
