Pirelli Names Two Photographers for 2027 Cal Dedicated to India

Avani Rai will finish images begun by her late father Raghu Rai, with Sølve Sundsbø returning from 2026.

Overview

  • Pirelli said Monday that the 2027 Pirelli Calendar will focus on India and carry the names of Sølve Sundsbø and Raghu Rai.
  • Following Raghu Rai’s recent death, his daughter Avani Rai will complete the work he began in coordination with Pirelli and the family.
  • Avani Rai called finishing the project a personal way to enter her father’s gaze on India.
  • Sundsbø, who shot the 2026 edition, said the invitation is a great honor and pledged to help celebrate India and Rai’s legacy.
