Pirelli Calender is continuing to maintain last year’s tradition of photographing women to showcase a liberated and natural side of them.

Last year, photographer Annie Leibovitz turned Pirelli’s tradition of overt nudity on its head, with portraits of accomplished writers, sports stars, philanthropists, artists, and filmmakers.

For this year’s edition, 14 actresses are modeling for German photographer and director Peter Lindbergh for a series of black and white photo of the actresses without any makeup or air brushing.

Academy Award winning actress Kate Winslet said that Peter’s photography is of women being real and strong.

From Kate to Helen Mirren to Penelope Cruz, all the actresses are excited about leaving behind the tonnes of makeup that goes into creating the myth of a perfect woman.

This is against the terror of perfection and youth.

Julianne Moore said, “I walked in with no make-up, messy hair and puffy eyes and Peter said ‘no no, let it be’.”

“It’s like an interview but with the camera”, Uma Thurman said.
