For one of my photojournalism classes, we were surprised with a field trip to the Museum of Fine Arts. He explained to us that it was an exhibit on modern photography of celebrities around the world. As soon as I heard that, I couldn’t wait to get there, seeing as fashion photography had always been an interest of mine. When we had arrived at MFA, we walked to the exhibit and you’re greeted with an array of different videos about Mario Testino himself. I could’t even finish because I was overwhelmed with the glass doors that were just to the right of me. I could see the ginormous photos hung on the wall that he had taken, so I opened up the large doors and went inside. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen! So many different colors and textures he used in each picture were breathe taking, I had never seen anyone photograph a human being in such a way he does. After you enter multiple rooms filled with billboard sized photographs of different well-known celebrities, you exit into an very interesting gift shop, filled with books of even more amazing photographs done by Testino and many camera related items. Overall it was an awesome experience and recommend to anyone who is interested in photography!
