Mario Testino: Bring on the drama



The fashion photographer everyone wants. The simple, yet complex, creativity in photography that celebrities desire. The man has shot for Gucci, Vogue, Burberry,Vanity Fair, Dolce and Gabbana and Versace. The photographer of the British Royal Family. He is the man sought-after. What's his secret? You can't really explain. You have to go through his photographs and then you'll go like: "Oh, now I see it." 



But what is it you see? It's the dramatic affect. The drama that he brings out in everyone he has ever shot is brilliant. The eyes project drama. The eyes do tell this dramatic story without having to write chapters. He is not the typical strike-a-pose photographer, yet his a world icon. He also adds the element of elegance. Bring elegance and drama together and you've got good photography people pause to admire.
