The 2013 Pirelli calendar was unveiled in Rio de Janeiro on 27th November. The creator of this 40th edition of Pirelli calendar is the famous American photographer Steve Mccurry. The shooting was for two weeks on the streets, in the favelas and other beautiful locations of Rio de Janeiro. Mccurry wanted to capture Brazilian landscape, people and culture.
