Rather than putting make-up on famous actresses before a photoshoot, German photographer Peter Lindbergh captures their natural beauty and doesn't retouch the pics.
Titled "Emotional", his black and white photos for the 2017 Pirelli Calendar is continuing last year’s tradition of celebrating beautiful women beyond glitz. "I wanted to portray women not in terms of their perfection, but through their feelings and emotions. That’s why I called this edition of the Calendar Emotional: not some artificial perfection, but the real world and the emotions that well up behind the faces of these women," Lindbergh said. Featuring 14 beloved actresses, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, and Penelope Cruz, the amazing photos were shot in London, New York, Berlin, Los Angeles, and on a beach in France. Each stunning picture perfectly shows that beauty is not about youth and perfection, as shown in mass media, but about the raw feelings and emotions within. See some of the beautiful photos below.
