Mario Testino

Mario Testino - Photographer who make people look better than they hope to be

Mario Testino  is famous for his beautiful and stylish photos. That's why he works for VOGUE and Harpers Bazaar.Mario Testino is one of the World wide known celevrity photographers. I decided to write a post about him because I can almost always guess if he's a photographer of some photo or not.Mario Testino  was born in Lima Peru.His mother was Irish and father was Italian.This means that his character is really temperamental.  When he was young he wanted to be a priest. when you scroll down and check out his photos it will be really interesting for you how he has changed his mind after his youth.In 1976 he went to London to study photography. Living in an unconverted floor of a hospital, without much money, he funded himself by working as a waiter. He had his hair dyed pink which helped him get noticed as a photographer. I think this fact really shows how extraordinary person is Mario  Testino. he became really famous in 90ies when he began shooting ad campaigns for many famous fashion houses like : D&G, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Valentino, Versace and so on.
His first photos were published in Vogue in 1983, and since then he had made 53 covers for VOGUE.Marios opinion about his photos are:“My pictures are my eyes,”  “I photograph what I see—and what I want to see.” "I’m South American—we celebrate life.”- this his opinion about life. He works for a lot of charity organizations. Fight against AIDS and Helps children who lost families after earthquakes in Peru.
In 2002, The National Portrait Gallery in London staged the landmark exhibition “Portraits” by Mario Testino that to date remains its second most successful exhibit. For ten years it had the highest attendance of any exhibition ever to be held there. Over the next four years the exhibition went on tour to Milan, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Tokyo, Mexico City, and Boston.
