Pirelli Calendar 2008 – World launch in Shanghai

– December 5, 2007

I was assigned to shoot the world launch of the 2008 Pirelli Calendar here in Shanghai. The photographer of the 2008 edition was Patrick Demarchelier. In addition to the ‘classical’ event photos, I proposed to my client (C l’agence) to record the preparation of the event in a Timelapse/Stopmotion movie. Edited with my friend Thomas Chère.

About Eric Leleu

I have been living in China as a photographer for a few years. My brain is obsessed by concepts such as authority, consumerism, capitalism, geopolitics, sociology or urbanity...
