Steve McCurry and Mario Testino are some of the biggest names in portrait photography. McCurry is well known for capturing the cultures of many people by using simple backgrounds, vivid colors, and by focusing on the eyes on the subject. Testino is known for his portraits of celebrities and capturing their personalities by using relatively the same approaches as McCurry. Their work is similar in that they are very simple portraits, but tell incredible stories, as the eyes are their main focus. However, they are different, as Testino works in black and white as well as color while McCurry focuses heavily on color. McCurry's photos tend to tell more about cultures and how his subjects live, while Testino's photos tell more about the personality of the figure. I prefer the work of McCurry, as I love how real the portrayals of his subjects are.
