THE CALENDAR:
Set in a lawless city, in 1940s American comic book style, Eugenio Recuenco photographs sensual superheroines made invincible by Lavazza espresso. The skilful use of lights and colours fills each scene with fragrant reminders of coffee. Eugenio Recuenco is considered one of the most creative contemporary Spanish photographers, famous internationally for his work in the editorial and advertising field. He has a very personal style, defined as both “cinematographic” and “pictorial”.
