As one of the 21st century’s most traveled, acclaimed, and influential fashion photographers,
Mario Testino has unsurpassed access to the
most magnetic stars of popular culture. For some time, 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 the
backstage parties and unstaged moments of Testino’s turbo-glamour 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. The book’s 300 pages are prefaced by an introduction by
Michael Roberts, fashion director of
Vanity Fair, and a
foreword by Nicole Kidman.
