The photographer's latest work is for luxury vodka brand Ciroc's On Arrival campaign, starring Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. "I've always been lucky because I'm usually arriving at the right place and right time," Testino tells Newsweek. The collection has become iconic for the warmth they portray and, for people all over the world, it is the chosen final memory of the princess when the alternative-paparazzi pictures of her injured in the Paris car crash that claimed her life-is much more gruesome. Testino's pictures of Diana show her in soft lighting, with simple hair, makeup and wardrobe. Unbeknown to him at the time, the resulting photographs would be the final official portraits of the royal before her death in August that year. The photos would change his life, opening him to an audience outside fashion, and made him a household name. In 1997, he had his own moment of arrival when he shot Princess Diana for Vanity Fair. Fashion photographer Mario Testino, 62, is thinking about the theme of arrival.
