I first saw this book in Selfridges , it caught my eye as I had recently visited Rio for the Carnival . The book is big , bold and glossy . The photographs really evoke images of Rio and captures the essence of Rio and its beautiful people . There are alot of photographs of naked people in the book but these are beautifully photographed and capture the essence of Rio and the beach culture . May I also add that this book was 3 times the price in Selfridges as it is on Amazon . If you are a fan of Mario Testino and can appriciate his beautiful work you will love this book .
