Presenting the behind-the-scenes pics from the Pirelli calendar 2018 shot by Tim Walker in London.
From featuring bikini-clad women, the Pirelli calendar has changed its focus.
This year, for the calendar, Tim Walker, through a series of surreal images, revisits a story first told in 1865, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, by the English mathematician and writer Lewis Carroll.
Inspired by the story, Tim has created his own version, one that features 17 black protagonists from the worlds of fashion, music, cinema and the underground of rap.
Take a look!
