What you can learn from Pirelli's nudes of Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Milla Jovovich
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.
In the video I hear supermodel Natasha Poly saying a key sentence: "He is one photographers that I feel comfortable being nude. I feel always beautiful, you know, when he is shooting me."
This is my take away for 2012: "The people who I shoot are beautiful. Always. And I am going to let them feel it."
I guess you already had a look at all the beautiful 25 calendar images below. And that's cool. Now please drop me a quick comment below and tell me which one is your favorite. I'll let you know which I would pick.
And then go to
