MaRIO de Janeiro by Mario Testino [Photography]

From famed photographer Mario Testino comes his latest work of art, MaRIO de Janeiro, a book that captures the city’s easy sensuality, sexual freedom and lust for life. “MaRIO de Janeiro captures the essence of this incomparably seductive city and its sultry citizens. From its breathtaking sunset panoramas, to the throbbing chaos of its world-famous carnival, this is Testino’s love poem to the Brazilian metropolis that captured his teenage heart, and never let go.

Some features include foreword by songwriter and singer Caetano Veloso, introduction by actress/TV personality Regina Case, and an essay by supermodel Gisele Bundchen. The book’s available in softcover with plastic jacket—for beach reading—available in yellow, orange or red, inspired by Rio’s glorious sunsets.
