The other day in our post about Peter Beard, we noted that the legendary lensman is still going strong while his swashbuckling contemporaries have all bitten the dust.
If anyone required further proof, Beard just finished shooting the 2009 Pirelli Calendar, the Italian tire company’s coveted and highly flammable annual promo full of naked supermodels given away to select VIPs (the kind who own fleets of Pirelli-shod Ferraris). Beard spent 10 days in the wilds of Botswana with a flock of world-class hotties including Kemptress Isabeli Fontana, The Gisele, Malgosia Bela, Daria Werbowy, Raquel Zimmermann and not a lot of clothes.
Here, the ever-adventurous photographer sets up a shot of a couple of the gals frolicking topless with Cathy the elephant.
All in a day’s work for our man Pete.

Swashbuckling photographer Peter Beard’s work isn’t getting any cheaper—quite the opposite in fact—but we consider it fairly recession proof as these things go. We recently told you about the re-release of his classic 1965 book on Africa, The End of the Game. Then we reported on his shoot in Botswana for the 2009 Pirelli Calendar featuring naked supermodels and an elephant named Cathy.
Now he’s finally hitting the auction circuit»
