Pirelli Calendar 2026 Wraps Elements Shoot Ahead of First Cinematic Release

A first-ever film adaptation will accompany Pirelli’s limited-edition Elements calendar at its November premiere in Prague.

Overview

  • Photographer Sølve Sundsbø enlisted 11 women—from Eva Herzigova to Venus Williams and Tilda Swinton—for elemental portraiture.
  • Elements pairs each shoot with one of the four classical elements to illustrate a visceral nature-human bond.
  • All three production stages in Norfolk and Essex, London and New York concluded this summer and are now in post-production.
  • The accompanying feature film will weave together the separate shoots into a unified narrative and reach a broader audience after its Prague screening.
  • The print calendar remains a limited-edition release for select recipients, with every image captured directly and without AI intervention.
