Some of the images from the Lavazza Calendar 2022. artist: @benharper @sonitalizadeh @mitty @shamellbell @shilpay @saype_artiste Thanks to: @lavazzaofficial @armandotestaspa @theproducerstv @parkpicturesny @kousidonis @annmurph @aleccume #Danielvoll @bretlama @jackiebisbee @lstrogoff @mark.d.harris @benlechevallier @_dfactory @paulnicklen @SeaLegacy Dress by: @c.a.n.c.i.n.o @cancino_fran @theliftmx @kananfilms @glossnewyork @kirapollack @chichiemb79 Our world is fragile, beautiful. Sometimes we forget. This edition highlights six artists and activists who are committed to change. My process begins in dialogue. How do you want to be photographed and where? My job is to translate their vision into images. Each image contains a personal secret, an evocation. Our locations across America were impacted by climate change. The shoots exposed us to alarming realities: glacial lakes that disappeared overnight, roads hot enough to melt tires. It made me terribly aware of how desperately we need the voices of these activists. Their work challenges us, creates community, makes us readier for the world’s beauty, stronger against its dangers. It is our duty as artists, as creators, as businesses, to bring these truths to the forefront and address them. And to celebrate those working for change, and to join them, as Ben Harper sings — with our own two hands. Thank you, Lavazza, for inviting me on this journey.

Some images from the Lavazza calendar 2022. “I grew up in a landlocked city in the mountains of central Mexico but, despite this, I fell in love with the ocean at an early age: I chose to study science as a way to immerse myself into that world and it didn’t take long to discover that oceans need serious help. At a certain point, I knew that I’d spend my life doing everything in my power to protect the oceans and all the creatures that make it a living ecosystem. Today, I use photography to create a global movement of ocean advocates that has become strong, but not enough. We need more people to realize that the health of our seas determines the health of our planet: this is our only home and, for us to thrive, it must too.” @mitty Happy birthday Cristina, warrior of the ocean!!! Thanks @cancino_fran for dress design!
