The other day we tagged along to grab some behind the scenes shots of WEP Photo Director behind the lens for the upcoming WEP 2026 calendar.

While we won't spill the beans and tell you what next year's calendar will feature, we will tell you that it will be entirely shot using a Polaroid camera, a process that Jalani has been exploring in depth this year.

Our calendar is a subscriber exclusive, so sign up today and let WEP take you all the way through 2026!
