At one moment, I thought that if I didn't do a picture in a certain way, then it wasn't a 'Mario Testino Picture.'

My favourite words are possibilities, opportunities and curiosity. I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities. Mario Testino createcuriositycurious Change image and share on social
