I studied his work in my photography class for a “personal inspirational” assignment. I LOVE all of his work, especially his pieces on Princess Diana, Meg Ryan, and almost all of his Kate Moss pieces. I can’t believe you just saw him walking on the streets! That’s incredible!

I’ve never met him. I’ve never seen him in person. But, he always seems like ‘the right kind of dude.’ To be a star in the prima donna world of fashion photography, and to always present yourself the way he does – well, that’s somethin’.
I just wish he would publish MORE books….

He has a very nice happy confidence. He’s not trying so hard, but he still looks like he made an effort to look nice.

This is how Marshall from ‘How I Met Your Mother’ will look like when he is older. Although I am not sure if he would look that stylish as this gentleman.

Belstaff, I think, but it’s the winning smile that nails the look.

He’s certainly in my “The-best-of-all-times list”.
I only wish he featured all his amazing oeuvre on his website…
Thanks, Scott, for bringing him in!

Attention:
I LOOOOOOOVVVVVE MARIO TESTINO’S WORK.
ITS A SHAME HIS PHOTOGRAPHS ARE SOLD ALL TOGETHER IN A BOOK AS IT DISTRACTS FROM THEIR EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTY….IN MY NEXT LIFE, I WANT TO BE BORN IN LIMA !!

If you’re looking for a book of Testino’s hot party pics, check out “Let Me In!” I am really, really happy to see him on this blog!
Scott, YOU should do a book! Like a big oversize coffee table book with HUGE pages!
I came to your gallery exhibition in Washington, DC the night you were there – my friend Fatha Julz gave you a CD of his music – and the only thing I wanted (besides air conditioning!) was to be able to view BIG versions of your photos!! There’s so much detail for us to study in your images!

If you want to look better than you actually do, get Mario Testino to photograph you.
