“My pictures are my eyes”
Fotógrafo nacido en Lima (Perú) a sus 58 años está
afincado en Londres, aunque confiesa que es difícil encontrarle en la ciudad más
de 5 días seguidos.
Procedente de una familia acomodada le ha permitido estudiar
Economía, Derecho y relaciones Internacionales en diversas universidades de
Perú y E.E.U.U.
No fue hasta 1976 cuando se trasladó a Londres
para comenzar su carrera dentro de la fotografía. Desde entonces pocas
personalidades de la moda han logrado escapar de su objetivo, incluso parte de
la realeza británica forman parte de su obra.
Pero si por algo se caracteriza Testino es por la que
ha sido y es su debilidad, Kate Moss, su musa. Apasionado de Moss confesó que
no pudo reprimir dar saltos de alegría el día que descubrió que sus fechas de cumpleaños
coincidían (aunque fuera sólo en el día).
Uno de los principales logros que Testino ha
cosechado en nuestro país ha sido su exposición en el Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza
de Madrid.
Habitual de la noche europea es difícil no verle
en un evento. Incondicional de Sevilla e
Ibiza, se declara fan de la España que acude a los toros y Amnseia.
“My pictures are my eyes”
Photographer born in Lima (Peru) at

the city more than 5 days.
Its provenance of a wealthy family
allowed him to study economics, law and international relations at universities
in Peru and the U.S.A.
It wasn't until 1976 when he moved
to London to pursue a career in photography. Since then few fashion
personalities have escaped of their lens, even part of the British royal family
are part of his work.

But if anything characterizes
Testino is his weakness, Kate Moss, his muse. Passionate Moss confessed that he
couldn't repress jump for joy the day he discovered that his birthday coincided
(if only in the day).

Usual of European night is hard not
to see him in an event. Unconditional of Seville and Ibiza, declares himself
