Mil Besos: Afanador Photographs Flamenco


Noted fashion photographer Ruven Afanador's most recent work is called Mil Besos, or one thousand kisses. He creates an intricate choreography of poses and gestures that embody the passionate song and dance of flamenco. Photographs of older and more traditional dancers are joined with images of younger women who today infuse flamenco with other musical traditions.


Selected works are exhibited at Throckmorton Fine Art through December 12, 2009. And the book, published by Rizzoli, is available on Amazon.
