Photographer Mario Testino's prominence in the fast-paced world of fashion and celebrity photography is hard-earned; working for the top international fashion magazines, he flies around the world by plane as if travelling by taxi. "Alive" is his third book and is a personal celebration of the chic and sophisticated world in which he moves.He shares moments to savour from all his travels; exotic locales, magnificent cities by night, mysterious landscapes and private soirees. All of his images are peopled by the lovely models, celebrities and friends that make up this glittering world. Like Testino's fashion work, these candid photographs are full of energy, colour and humorous juxtapositions.

This review is from: Alive (Hardcover)
Having bought Any Objections? by the same author with which I was dissapointed I was very glad to see a return to form by Mr. Testino. Alive is truly sumed up by its' title. Its full of life, colour, energy & passion with a healthy dose of sex thrown in for good measure. We are given an access-all-areas tour of Mr. Testino's glamourous life filled with fabulous parties, gorgeous locations & sexy models as well as incredibly candid portraits of celebrities. The photography is first-rate and clearly shows Testino's passion for the medium - he must never be without a camera in his hands! The over-all quality of the book is outstanding with hidden images on the reverse of the jacket and special touches that bring it high above the level of other photography volumes. A real must have for all lovers of the dolce vita!

Not interesting at all, just a bunch of snapshots Testino takes on his travels, very little vision and planning in the photos or the book itself.
