Boy meets girl: This eternal and inexhaustible theme is the topic of the Zeiss Art Calendar. Zeiss, the leading manufacturer of optical systems, invites the very best photographers to take part each year. From Wim Wenders in 2009 to Douglas Kirkland in 2015, the photos are as complex and multifaceted as male-female relationships themselves; the lines between romance, drama, and comedy quickly blur. The people in front of the camera are also at the top of their fields?actors like Michael J. Fox or Alec Baldwin meet supermodels like Amber Valletta or Toni Garrn. These various facets make this book a diverse collection of imaginative stories told through pictures. Interviews with the participants further enrich the book with a behind-the-scenes look at the project. ? Stars both behind and in front of the camera have been working on this extraordinary calendar project for six years: Douglas Kirkland with Cecilia Bartoli and Rolando Villazon Mary McCartney with Alec Baldwin and Gemma Arterton Michel Comte with Patrick Dempsey and Rinko Kikuchi Ellen von Unwerth with Adrien Brody and Toni Garrn Bryan Adams with Michael J. Fox and Tatjana Patitz Wim Wenders with Willem Dafoe and Amber Valletta 60 colour, 15 b/w
