Photographer Mario Testino is best known for creating celebrity portraits that appear on the covers and pages of magazines like Vogue, GQ, V magazine, and Vanity Fair. This weekend, the first-ever U.S. exhibit of his photographs opens at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Titled “In Your Face,” the retrospective will cover his 30-year career with 125 images chosen by Testino himself, ranging from his celebrity subjects like Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow to fashion spreads featuring Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss. See a preview of the exhibit, including some exclusive images, in our slideshow.

For more information on the Swarovski-sponsored exhibit, which runs from October 21, 2012 to February 3, 2013, visit the Museum of Fine Arts Boston website.
