The Hasselblad Calendar 2001 - a gallery of photographic masterpieces

The Hasselblad Calendar 2001 - a gallery of photographic masterpieces

At the photokina 2000 exhibition, Hasselblad presents the forthcoming Hasselblad Calendar 2001. Its new concept and format is embodied in a fresh and contemporary graphic design. The primary aim of the carefully selected pictures is to present excellent photography that reflects current interest and creates a lasting impression on the viewer. The calendar will no doubt strongly appeal to both photographers and others interested in the visual arts. 

The calendar contains just over 40 images of various sizes, in colour as well as black & white, representing many fields of application without being linked under a specific theme. 

The Hasselblad Calendar 2001 presents the work of twelve highly skilled photographers, hailing from different parts of the world, all with various backgrounds and photographic styles. The majority are well established of worldwide repute, but the calendar also presents a number of up-and-coming photographers, with a fresh and exciting approach to photography. 

The photographers participating in the Hasselblad Calendar 2001 are: 
Anton Corbijn / England, Bernhard Edmaier / Germany, Isabel Muñoz / Spain, Hans van Ommeren / Holland, Mario Cravo Neto / Brazil, Michael Grecco / USA, Matilda Lindeblad / Sweden, Ian Patrick / France, Per Nagel / Denmark, Phyllis Galembo / USA, Howard Schatz / USA and Xie Mo / China. 

The chosen photographers, known as the Hasselblad Masters, will each be the subject of an in depth feature article released by Hasselblad on a monthly basis, starting with Anton Corbijn in October 2000.
