Mario Testino: Artist Of The Week

Mario Testino

1. How is the technical quality? 
2. How’s the composition? 
3. Did the photographer connect with his subjects or do they     look tense, posed ?
4. Does the photographer tell a story? 
5. What do you find interesting about his work?

1. The technical quality is amazing. He uses bright color to emphasis the uniqueness of the photo.
2. The composition has the girl sitting with bright blue skies in what looks to be the desert with her looking off in the distance.
3. I feel that the artist may not have connected with his subjects because they do look somewhat tense in the photos
4.  I think the artist is trying to show that because of her young age, that it is stereotypical of people that age to where more colorful and unique clothing of that type.
5. I find interesting the small details he includes. There is a broom in the background for some reason that I found really intriguing. 

1. The technical quality is fantastic in the photo. The black and white is a fantastic detail since the man in the photo is wearing white already. 
2. the composition has him wearing a robe and towel on his head with the photo in black and white. He is also wearing bracelets.
3. I feel the artist may not have connected with his subjects because even though he's smiling, he still seems very tense in the photo.
4. I think the artist is trying to show some heritage and background because the bracelets look like they have cultural significance.
5. I find the positions that his hands are in is very interesting. He could have done the photo from the chest up but chose to include more in the photo.
