Someone sent me these 3 videos on Mario Testino (thanks, Brandon!), and they literally came across my phone as I was looking at the current Testino spread in V magazine featuring Natalia.  It was all fitting, since I was thinking of how Testino’s work is quit simple in many ways but that it nearly always works, and how he definitely deserves a nod for what he’s done over the years.

And an old favorite add that Testino shot for Gucci back in the good ol’days of Tom Ford.  I believe this was from ’98, but don’t hold me to that.
