“Mario Casilli is a camp classic that is overwhelmingly sincere. It is a joyful reminder of the power and allure of photographic memory.”

“It's a tremendous body of work ... and it's never really been seen all together.”

“This explosion of Eighties high camp and glamour features a collection of Casilli's finest work.”

“We're not worthy.”

“A beautifully made, unique visual document of the photographer's art.”

“Casilli's soft focus, high-gloss vision would come to embody the 1980s American dream. ... His amazing photography is now immortalised in a spectacular coffee table book.”

“A time capsule to the decade when big hair, polyester suits, shoulder pads, and blinding beading reigned supreme.”

“He became Francisco de Goya: official author of ruling royal portraits in the entertainment industry.”

“The big, brash, and beautiful stars of the decade that taste forgot found their perfect muse in photographer Mario Casilli”
