PECCINOTTI, GIACOBETTI FOR PIRELLI

Like my fellow blogger Mister Geez, I have been really into 60’s and 70’s imagery recently. Today I want to give props to the Pirelli Calendar that makes people dream since the 60’s. Pirelli (A tire company from Italy) invites each year a different fashion photographer and load of top models to create a tastefull and erotic calendar. I remember being really attracted by those naked beauties hanging on the wall of the local automotive joint where my dad would pick up his busted car. Those calendars display well how fashion photography evolved in the last 30 years. I have to say that Harry Peccinotti and Francis Giacobetti are in my top 10 fashion photographers. In their work for Pirelli they were able to make really sexy and hot photos without displaying pretty much anything too easy to show nowadays (aka boobs, pubes, etc...) Imagine being shooting on a deserted beach at a time were no cellphone, Iphone, wireless computer, etc… where polluting the vibe… 100% pure pleasure and fun. Hope you’ll enjoy as I much as I do....
