Steven Meisel co-opted the Twitter phenomenon for the last Vogue Italia issue of the decade — December 2009 — and rechristened Twitpic “Meiselpic” for his purposes. Inside the issue he wrote to his 20 model “followers” under a blurred portrait of himself — surprising, as the photographer is reclusive and does not like to be photographed himself —”Feeling a touch swine flu . . . so not coming to work today. I’m sending you some clothes . . . wear what you like, Meiselpic it back to me. xxSteven.” What comes next — and is featured on the cover — are twenty pages of model self-portraits in the style of Twitpic. Lara Stone took the below picture of herself and “Twittered” underneath: ”I love my new boobs. Werk!!” A pregnant Gisele snaps herself in lingerie, covering up her bump, and “Tweets”: “Privacy is beautiful!” And Freja Beha Erichsen, who’s not known to be a Meisel favorite, makes a surprise appearance, as well.

Mario Testino, photographer of royalty, celebrities and supermodels and one of the world’s most sucessfull fashion photographer, has enjoyed a love affair with Rio de Janeiro for over 30 years. Here he celebrates the Brazilian city in his inimitable style, creating a dazzling vision of its color, passion and brazen sensuality.
Peruvian by birth, Testino has been fascinated by Rio de Janeiro since his earliest summer vacations. “When I was 14, on holiday, and going from my house to the beach and seeing everyone walk everywhere in their tiny bathing suits—the girls and boys were so sexy and carefree and wild—I just could not believe it.” This easy sensuality, sexual freedom and lust for life left a deep impression; Testino has been going back ever since, for work and fun, passion and inspiration. Featuring candid shots of exquisite cariocas baring nubile flesh, including supermodel Gisele Bündchen, MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino captures the essence of this incomparably seductive city and its sultry citizens. From its breathtaking sunset panoramas, to the throbbing chaos of its world-famous carnival, this is Testino’s love poem to the Brazilian metropolisthat captured his teenage heart, and never let go.
Features include:
• Foreword by songwriter and singer Caetano Veloso
• Introduction by actress/TV personality Regina Casé
• Essay by supermodel Gisele Bündchen
• Softcover with plastic jacket—for beach reading—available in yellow, orange or red, inspired by Rio’s glorious sunsets!

Sølve Sundsbø is a Norwegian fashion photographer who lives in London. He started his career after four months into a photography course at the London College of Printing beginning Nick Knight’s assistant.
His bizarre, cleverly manipulated images have made him fashion photography’s hottest new star.
“People would say to me, ‘I’m not sure I can hire you, I’m not sure what you’re doing. What is your style?’ I was mortified and thought I was never going to make a living as a photographer.”
He received a lot of acclaim from major designers such as Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Gucci, Hermès, Armani and many others.
His work incorporated everything from X-rays and 3-D scanning to hi-tech manipulation and laborious hand-painted retouching.
“The great thing about being a photographer is that you can manipulate your own universe”
His pictures look as if they’ve been digitally altered, when in fact often they haven’t. “People assume my work has been through a computer but actually I also use a lot of old-fashioned techniques” (source)
