Yesterday, Campari officially unveiled Penelope Cruz as the star of the 2013 Campari Calendar, captured by Paris-based fashion photographer, Kristian Schuller. Following the footsteps of some of the world's most elegant women who have adorned the pages of previous Campari Calendars, such as Salma Hayek, Eve Mendes, Jessica Alba and Milla Jovovich, the Spanish beauty of 'Vicky Christina Barcelona' and 'Volver' was excited to participate as it seems...

Paris-based Kristian began his career studying fashion design with Vivienne Westwood and photography with F.C. Gundlach at the University of Fine Arts Berlin. Having focused on photography as his chosen path, Kristian continued to go from strength to strength with his work having been included in a wealth of fashion magazines such as; Vogue Hellas, Harper’s Bazaar and GQ. His first book, ‘90 Days, One Dream’, was published in 2010 winning the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis Silver Medal in 2011.

On his shooting of the 2013 Campari Calendar, Kristian Schuller comments: “Photographing the 2013 Campari Calendar is simply incredible and a totally unique challenge. Campari has a history of creating powerful and visually-stunning imagery, both in its advertising campaigns and the Calendar. My intention was to continue this story of success by pushing the boundaries even further which I feel we have achieved. It is magnificent to work with someone as talented as Penelope, who truly embodied the theme for the latest edition of the Calendar by bringing her flair and versatility to the set.”

And those backstage photos offer just a glimpse of what will follow this Autumn as the final imagery from the Calendar and the coveted 2013 theme will be unveiled at a red carpet event to be held in Milan...Patience!
