Coming out onto the Rue de la République, directly onto the Museon Arlaten, superbly restored by the department, surprise, surprise!

More than seventy large-format photographs from thirty countries (which Mario Testino has visited over the last seven years): this is how A Beautiful World takes shape. A world that Testino has captured and analysed by taking his subjects out of their environment and bringing them to his portable studio from where their membership in a community becomes evident thanks to the clothes they wear, those of their own history. Testino's…

"A photo must be paid for," the ADAGP reminds us with this striking communication campaign, which for the third consecutive year highlights the lack of recognition for the works of photographers.
