Mario Testino is one of the most renowned living portrait and fashion photographers: his iconic images stand out for their freshness and intimacy. Despite being born in Peru, Testino has always been fascinated by Rio de Janeiro, a city where he spent his first summer holidays. "I was 14, on vacation, and when I left my house to go to the beach I couldn't believe my eyes, all those people, so carefree and sensual." The light sensuality, sexual freedom and zest for life that one breathes there made a deep impression on him. Testino has since returned to the city numerous times, for work and for pleasure.
With candid shots of exquisite Cariocas showing off their nubile flesh and supermodel Gisele Bündchen, MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino captures the essence of this incomparably seductive city and its sensual citizens. From its breathtaking sunsets to the famous carnival parades, this is Testino's love poem to the city that captivated his teenage heart and never let it go.
