"I'm proud to have been chosen as the
photographer of the Pirelli Calendar 2022. Combining photography
and music for 'The Cal' is very exciting and it will of course
feature some extraordinary people," Adams said in a statement.
The 61-year-old said he would begin shooting in a few weeks. On
his Twitter page, he said further details would be announced in
coming months.
Adams is best known for songs like "Summer of '69", "Heaven" and
chart-topping ballad "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", which
featured on the soundtrack of 1991 film "Robin Hood: Prince of
Thieves".
As a photographer, he has snapped pictures of celebrities
including actor Mads Mikkelsen, rocker Mick Jagger, model Naomi
Campbell as well as Britain's Queen Elizabeth. He has also
published books of his photos, including one on injured British
soldiers.
First published in the 1960s, the Pirelli calendar has a limited
run and is usually gifted to the company's clients. In recent
years, it has moved away from featuring images of
scantily-dressed models to more artistic themes, featuring
various celebrities.
The 2021 edition was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
