Pirelli Calendar 2025 returns to nude photography with Ethan James Green
The latest Pirelli Calendar, the 51st edition titled 'Refresh and Reveal,' marks a return to nude photography after a more subdued approach in previous years. Shot by 34-year-old New Yorker Ethan James Green, this calendar features personal portraits of various actors, including Hunter Schafer, Padma Lakshmi, and John Boyega, as well as models like Jenny Shimizu and artist Martine Gutierrez. Known for his exploration of queer identity in 'Young New York' (2022), Green aims to challenge conventional beauty standards by celebrating trans and fluid forms while maintaining a classic look. Captured in May and June at Miami's Historic Virginia Key Beach Park, the 24 images are described as intimate rather than overtly sexual, revealing deeper aspects of identity and freedom.
