In "Lima, Peru," Mario Testino makes his first foray into the role of photo editor, celebrating his rich and complex home country. Published by Damiani in 2007, the book is a record of Lima as seen through the eyes of its artists, photographers, artisans and photojournalists. “I wanted to capture Lima’s positive chaos,” Testino said. In "Lima, Peru," are observations of the city’s natural exhibitionists as well as those who would normally shy away from the camera. Art, parades, religion, sex, football, market life, architecture, interiors, high society, the bourgeoisie, teenagers, soldiers, surfers, priests, bullfighters, brides, hostesses, street sellers, waiters, artists, dancers, musicians and sun-worshippers are all included in Testino’s shimmering, kaleidoscopic view of the city.
