Testino has created advertising campaigns for high profile clients such as Gucci, Versace, Gap and Burberry and has worked on editorial shoots all over the world. Portraits brought together this commercial work alongside his studies of the stars from the worlds of fashion, cinema, royalty and music and includes Kate Moss, John Galliano, Gwyneth Paltrow, Diana, Princess of Wales, Robbie Williams and Madonna.
A Testino portrait is unmistakable. Portraits defined the ultra-A-list of our celebrity-conscious age: Diana, Madonna, Gwyneth, Kate – those whose names have become the hallmarks, almost the logos, of modern times. From London to Hollywood, this unprecedented overview of Testino’s career explored how his photographs have influenced attitudes towards fashion, beauty and glamour.
