Photoshoot for Vogue UK May2005

Model: Gemma Ward

   

   

One of fashion’s most sought-after snappers, Mario Testino was born in 1954 in Lima, Peru. Though often classed among the Luxury Realists of fashion (along with Steven Meisel, Craig McDean and David Sims), Testino refuses to analyse his work, preferring to see it as a visual rather than an intellectual endeavour. However, his fashion photography is so well studied that it has widely been granted the status of art, and has been the subject of countless exhibitions.
