Torero (Spanish Edition)

With Torero, Ruven Afanador juxtaposes the incredible beauty of young bullfighters and old-world Latin traditions with a couture-inspired vision of the opulent costumes and the ritualistic elements of the matador culture, and narcissism, an integral aspect of fashion photography. Afanador opens the door to the famously closed society of bullfighters, offering his elegant, private view of the young matadors raised in a centuries-old Latin tradition, capturing their balletic beauty, and their distinctly erotic aura. Through these iconic portraits, Afanador also gorgeously documents the sumptuous and richly-crafted costumes and the timeless symbols of the torero culture.Afanador, Ruven is the author of 'Torero (Spanish Edition)' with ISBN 9783908163497 and ISBN 3908163498.
