ICL in Photos - The chosen pictures!
Your Photos. Our Story
ICL in Photos project has become a tradition, and for the second year, presents the work of our ICL photo artists.

We would like to thank all the talented photographers who took part in this project, and congratulate the 13 employees whose photos were selected to appear in ICL 2019 calendar.
You are invited to look at the selected photographs that tell our story.
