His first camera was a 1982 Kodak Disk 4000, but Tesauro’s never been a photographer. That term implies F-stop fluency and dark room proficiency. From the beginning, Tesauro leaned into the camera as a tool to support his storytelling. Eventually, editors trusted him to shoot his own images around the world. Author of The Modern Gentleman book series, Tesauro is a lifestyle writer and photojournalist whose work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Travel+Leisure, Esquire, Decanter, and others.

From Coachella to Kentucky Derby, London to Hong Kong, Tesauro’s career spans 20+ years and 20+ countries, bridging the worlds of fine wine, cultural journalism, lifestyle education, and creative events. He specializes in food & drink, savvy & vice, travel, style, and expert storytelling across global platforms as published author, TV host, ambassador, performance poet, and educator.
