Inspired by the summers he spent there as a child, Mario Testino, one of the most successful fashion and portrait photographers alive, recently released his newest book, Rio de Janeiro. Testino has returned to Rio de Janeiro regularly since those summers as a child for both work and fun, compiling an unrivaled photographic archive of the beautiful city. Depicting the places, people and passion of the Brazilian metropolis, the book is Testino’s tribute to this extraordinary city and its citizens. It captures images of everything from Copacabana’s beaches to Ipanema’s baixos, expressing Testino’s fascination with the city’s sexual freedom, easy sensuality and lust for life.
