Photographer Mario Testino's prominence in the fast-paced world of fashion and celebrity photography is hard-earned; working for the top international fashion magazines, he flies around the world by plane as if travelling by taxi. Alive is his third book and is a personal celebration of the chic and sophisticated world in which he moves.He shares moments to savour from all his travels; exotic locales, magnificent cities by night, mysterious landscapes and private soirees. All of his images are peopled by the lovely models, celebrities and friends that make up this glittering world. Like Testino's fashion work, these candid photographs are full of energy, colour and humorous juxtapositions.
