Reseña: The way men are seen in photography in fashion and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. It is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image a mans personal style changing attitudes to the male face and body. - Mario Testino From Rio to London Cusco to Seville Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR his largest book to-date the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men. Featuring an essay by Pierre Borhan an interview with Patrick Kinmonth and many previously unpublished works from Testinos archive of thousands this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades. Costume tradition gender play portraiture photojournalism and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through the dandy and the gentleman the macho and the fey the world-famous face to the unknown passerby. Every photograph represents a unique point of view and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With Josh Hartnett for VMAN (2005) Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Viscontis The Damned. Studies of Brad Pitt George Clooney Jude Law and Colin Firth are as candid as they are curious. David Beckham David Bowie Mick Jagger and Keith Richards feature for the courage they have taken in redefining male identity. Through a kaleidoscope of guises these portraits define a period in which mens changing role style and appearance has never escaped Testinos eye and impeccable intuition.
