Mario Testino Talks with Simon de Pury | A Beautiful World | Patricia Low Contemporary, Gstaad

Mario Testino sits down with Simon de Pury at Patricia Low Contemporary in Gstaad, Switzerland (31 January 2026) for a live conversation exploring A Beautiful World, the photographic project that has reshaped Testino’s work in recent years. In front of a full audience at the gallery, the two discuss how the project began, why traditional dress became central to Testino’s photographic language, and how photography can document culture, ritual and identity across continents. The conversation moves from Testino’s early influences and fashion career to the deeper motivations behind A Beautiful World, including the role of tradition, the importance of cultural continuity, and the responsibility of photographers to observe the world with attention and respect. They also reflect on iconic moments from Testino’s career, including photographing Princess Diana, his collaborations with Kate Moss, and how the fashion industry evolved during the decades when magazine photography helped define global culture. Recorded during Testino’s exhibition at Patricia Low Contemporary in Gstaad, the discussion offers a rare look at the thinking behind one of the most influential photographers of his generation.
