THE SEDUCTION OF ANA DIAS
The creation of colorful scenes, filled with playful and lively characters styled in glamorous fashion, are the key features that make Ana Dias´s way of working unique. Her style is very much influenced by the pop culture, and brings us back to the light eroticism of the 50´s pin-up girls... but the art she creates trascends the photographic image. It tells us a story that makes us smile, and that reminds us that beauty exists and is real. “A photograph should make you feel something. It’s all about conveying a feeling, whatever it might be”, thinks Ana. “there are many photographer that inspire me. Some of which are Tony

Kelly, EllenVon Unwerth and Helmut Newton. I especially like the erotic vision they bring to the public with their pictures. The model is always on the center stage, and the shoots are filled with glamour and subtle eroticism. I also appreciate the Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco for his peculiar, creative and in many ways cinematographic style. In photography, there are always new things to do and new ways to go, but what is really important is to stay true to your own path, whatever it might be. I do what I like and what makes me feel happy, if it’s original, even better!”, says the photographer. www.anadiasphotography.com

AMAZING VIEWS into the
LOOKS This year’s Calendar year is titled Calendar Girls 2015, and the 12 girls in question are top and emerging models.
PIRELLI CALENDAR 2015 The 2015 Pirelli Calendar was presented to the press, guests and collectors from around the world at Pirelli HangarBicocca, the Pirelli contemporary art space in Milan. Milan was chosen as the venue with the aim of showing an iconic object with the “Made in Italy” label in the city that in 2015 is to be the flagship of Italy in the world when it hosts the Expo Milano 2015 international exhibition. The creator of the forty-second edition of The Cal™, Steven Meisel is one of the world’s most successful fashion photographers, and is known for his eclectic but also reserved personality. In an intense fiveday shoot last May in a New York studio, Steven Meisel brought the absolute centrality of women back to the Pirelli Calendar in its most classic format. 12 months in 12 shots (plus the cover).
With his astonishing creative talent and ability to interpret fashion trends, Meisel has captured some of the most representative icons of today’s society in his highly colourful images: “In my opinion”, says Meisel, “these are the key aesthetic models of today’s world. They represent the stereotypes that the fashion and star system impose upon us right now. I didn’t want to make a conceptual calendar, or link it to some particular location, but rather to create 12 posters in which women, in all their sensuality, are the absolute protagonists of 12 very different images. Since I wanted to limit the use of clothes and accessories and since I had absolute creative freedom, I found it very exciting to play with the colours, the makeup, and the materials. It was a very rewarding experience.”

BORN AND RAISED IN PARIS, DAVID BENOLIEL, FASHION AND BEAUTY PHOTOGRAPHER NOW BASED IN US BETWEEN NEW YORK AND MIAMI. DAVID IS A PROLIFIC CONTRIBUTOR TO MANY PRESTIGIOUS FASHION PUBLICATIONS WORLDWIDE. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY HE HAS BECOME A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PHOTOGRAPHER, RESPECTED FOR HIS TALENT AND HIGHLY ARTISTIC CONCEPTUAL WORK.HE HAS DEVELOPED HIS VERY OWN STYLE, A COLLABORATION OF LIGHT AND BEAUTY THAT MAKES HIS IMAGES UNIQUE AND TIMELESS. How would you describe yourself as a photographer? Perctionist, and obsessed with light. I’m always trying to push myself and my concept to go further. Is there a photographer who has been a particular influence for you? I always been inspired by the work of Greg Kadell and still am. Today, I would say that Eugeni Recuenco is my number one reference. How did you discover photograhpy, and how long have you been doing it? I have bought my first camera less than 5 years ago. I just found myself one day in a photo studio environment and it was love at first sight. What do you feel a photo to possess to be successful? I would say on my particular field of fashion, the model, concept/ realization and editing. I always try to have perfect pose, lighting,
editing, but there was something missing. With the experience i’ve gained since i’ve started, i am trying now more to direct a photo to provoke more a feeling first when the project allow me to do it. Are you constantly searching for new models or do they come to you? I am always searching for the face that would inspire me, always. I am working of courses with models agencies that send me often various choice, but i’m really picky now with my choices and the features i’m looking from a model What type of women do you portray? Do they have anything in common? I would say strong, unique/different features, cheekbones, .. i like blue/green eyes most but it’s just my taste let’s say. What to you require of them and how would you, in a few words, describe your ideal model?
