Winner of the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting abroad, his work covering conflicts has taken him to some of the most war-torn countries in the world. On assignment to shoot the 2013 Pirelli calendar, famous for showcasing nude images of top models, McCurry brought his documentary sensibility to next year’s edition. The result is a series of images shot in Rio de Janeiro that focuses beyond the mere aesthetic; the images capture the models beyond just a sexy pose in a nondescript location, revealing a bit of who they are within the vibrance of Brazil.
