Perpetual calendar - Pirelli

The Pirelli Calendar 2013, photographed by renowned photojournalist Steve McCurry, is a particularly remarkable edition, as it sets itself apart from its predecessors. Here are the key details:
• Photographer: Steve McCurry, known for his powerful documentary photography, especially the portrait of the Afghan girl.
• Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The images were shot in the streets and historic districts of the city.
• Theme and special feature: McCurry broke with the tradition of nudity. The focus was on women who are not only beautiful but also known for their social and humanitarian commitment. The models are clothed and were staged in "found situations" in the style of street photography to highlight their inner beauty and idealism.
• Models: Among the models, actresses and singers who dedicate themselves to charitable causes were, among others:
• Adriana Lima (posed heavily pregnant)
• Isabeli Fontana
• Karlie Kloss
• Petra Nemcova
• Elisa Sednaoui
• Liya Kebede
• Hanaa Ben Abdesslem
• Sonia Braga
• Summer Rayne Oakes
• Kyleigh Kuhn
The 2013 calendar thus represents a unique mix of travel photography, portraits, and social themes against the colorful backdrop of Brazil.
