For the ZEISS Art Calendar 2014, Mary McCartney has captured fascinating images of New York. With her unique, expressive imagery, the famous photographer accompanies a couple who experience some very special moments together. In Manhattan they wallow in the magic of the city: they combine their own personal world with the charm of special sites and locations in the Big Apple. The protagonists are Hollywood stars Alec Baldwin and Gemma Arterton.

The striking photographs by Mary McCartney – all with taken with state-of-the-art ZEISS lenses – enchant the viewer with their astounding clarity and discrete intensity.

In scenes that reveal an astute eye for the special mood and atmosphere of the location, Mary McCartney shows how the couple merge with the spirit imbuing the sites of New York. They are captivated by the spell of the Metropolitan Museum and enraptured by the mind-blowing view from the dizzy heights of the Empire State Building.

The ZEISS calendar is devoted to our bond with and commitment to our customers. It was for them that the artist has created this work or art, and it is they, and only they, who will receive the limited edition of the calendar. It underscores how highly we value our customers and catches those precious moments that result when they create new solutions when using our products, gain new knowledge in their specialist areas, or trigger joy and relief when they achieve successful treatment outcomes for their patients.
