5.0 out of 5 stars Mario peruvian genius Testino
I am not perhaps terribly drawn to Testino's often conventional, clean, almost digital looking commercial work but do not be deceived - what he does other than for commercial gain is nothing less than stunning.

All his books are a must each in their own way, even including his mini kids' portraits book, but Mario De Janeiro Testino is perhaps his finest...

3.0 out of 5 stars not so much Rio in it
Beautiful book and photos of course. Well printed too.
I was expecting a more Rio de Janeiro book instead of a book of models!
the photos are great but not what I had in my mind; something more about the city and not about beautiful bodies and faces; when I red the title I've immediately thought about great pictures of this marvelous city.

All his books are a must each in their own way, even including his mini kids' portraits book, but Mario De Janeiro Testino is perhaps his finest. Clearly personal, often sexual but always technically & artistically extremely interesting... perhaps above all... beautiful. Quite simply an essential purchase for photographers or photography fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Testino soul, December 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mario de Janeiro Testino (Perfect Paperback)
A photograph that can make you feel so many different things. Not just for their outside aesthetics. With his pictures you can feel the mood, the taste, the thoughts, humor and their personality in general.
A must have book from Testino. Don't forget the other book: "Front Row/Backstage"

4.0 out of 5 stars Beauty revealed, February 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mario de Janeiro Testino (Perfect Paperback)
In this book you will find more curves and colors in the beautiful bodies of the models than in the wonderful city's landscapes. But that's what one would expect from Mario Testino, right? If it had hard cover, it'd be even better as a coffee table book. It's a delight to browse it anyway. And a nice gift for those who appreciate beautiful Brazilians, beautiful people, I mean.

Wow! this is perhaps the the second worst Taschen book I own.
after looking thru in complete disappointment. the book went right into the RECYCLING BAG.
Of course I used the neighbors Re-cycling bin so the men who gather the re-cycling wouldn't know it was EVER IN MY POSSESSION.
