Lara Stone posing nude for Pirelli Calendar 2012

Beautiful Lara Stone photographed by Mario Sorrenti for Pirelli Calendar 2012

A selection of supermodels posed completely naked for the Pirelli Calendar this year. The dream cast includes but is not limited to Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Milla Jovovich. The nudes are presented tastefully in natural sets on Corsica. Photographer Mario Sorrenti did an excellent job.

The photos are pretty good. Like every year in "the cal". However, what gave me something really valuable this year is... the video. When you log into the Pirelli website then you will find a 20 minute behind the scenes video. Watch how Mario Sorrenti is making the calendar photographs. Passionate but calm, with extremely simple gear and a relatively small entourage.

One of my followers on Twitter just asked me how we did shoot photo #208. This photo depicts my friend Lyen Wong performing a jump. This was a part of her show which made her Miss Universe Shape 2005. Of course, in her show she did not perform this jump nude, but for our fine art shooting and for the joy of her fans she allowed me to cover her great body with light and shade only. Read more »
