Albert Watson has shot the 2019 Pirelli calendar, the Scottish photographer’s studio announced on its Instagram account.
A versatile commercial and editorial photographer, Watson has produced 100 Vogue covers, ad campaigns for the likes of Prada and Chanel, and film posters for “Kill Bill” and “Memoirs of a Geisha.” As a portraitist, he’s captured world-renowned faces across industries, from Steve Jobs and Tupac to Andy Warhol and Kate Moss.
“(The Pirelli calendar) is one of the greatest commissions you can get as a photographer and therefore (it was) a great honor to be asked,” Watson told CNN in an email. “It was a lot of work and I am very proud of the results.”
At this point, few details have been revealed about the calendar itself, including who will be in it or what the theme will be, but Pirelli has said the calendar was shot across the US in April.
