I was thinking pretty much the same thing. He’s not necessarily very exciting. It’s all very business like. But I also admire how much of a perfectionist he is and in the end the images are beautiful!

What type of camera does mario use in the first video, when he’s interviewing models? He has two on top of the table.

With a very high apperture (something like 22) every thing will be on focus.

Thanks so much for posting this! Behind the scenes is always such a mystery to us photographers because we are so secretive in general with our processes

Great find. I LOVE and admire Mario Testino. Though his voice is kind of annoying and the way he hang his jacket over his shoulder all the time does make me want to rip it apart, but his industry know-hows surpasses any other fashion photographer I have heard of. Amongst the great we have Bruce Weber and also David LaChapelle.

Thanks once again.

Interesting how… uninteresting he is in interview. This is not in any way a mean criticism. But through simple observation, he seems more methodical and workaday in his approach. Analysis, collaboration and execution. That, in contrast to the playful flash and charisma of a Helmut Newton. As a compliment to him, I admire the sheer professionalism that goes into his approach. As for the behind the scenes peek, nothing really surprising or exciting. Maybe that’s a great lesson for me of itself.
