Meet the Photographer Behind The Popular Instagram Project ‘Towel Series’

The exclusive project “The ‘Towel Series’ on Instagram has featured the likes of Kate Moss, Keira Knightley, Miranda Kerr and Kate Upton in the past.

The photographer, Mario Testino, is a Peruvian fashion photographer and his work has been featured in magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair. His career highpoint came in 1997 when he was chosen by Princess Diana to photograph her for Vanity Fair. Testino has been regularly employed by the British royal family ever since.

Testino considers his “Towel Series” as something of a liberating lens in the industry. “I think girls and guys feel this freedom at being able to express themselves. There is no predetermined way of how you put the towel on,” says Testino. “You can do anything you want—wear it however you want. I have always treasured this kind of freedom: it’s rare.”
