A Love Letter To Mario Testino's Instagram Account
He was one of Instagram's biggest pulls, so how has famed fashion photographer been using everyone's favourite photo-sharing tool?
He was one of Instagram's biggest pulls, so how has famed fashion photographer been using everyone's favourite photo-sharing tool?
To celebrate Mario Testino's 60th birthday we thought we'd have a look back at one of his most recent accomplishments: totally owning Instagram.
Getting the famed photographer on board was one of the photo-sharing platform's biggest coups. After all, if you can get the likes of señor Testino to use a photo app you know you're onto a winner.
And, not only has the acclaimed snapper signed up to Instagram, he's embraced it wholeheartedly. Of course, he uses it to promote his own work and projects, he's no fool, but he also gives his followers (all 768,892 of them at the time of writing this) an unparalled look into the wincingly glamorous life of him and his fabulous fashion pack.
His slick, studio shots are beautiful, natch, but what we've most enjoyed about Mario Testino's Instagram account is the access he gives us to the A-list. Below, we've picked some of our favourite pics, from Harry Styles and Kate Moss to Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson, these are sensational.
