Last saturday was too beautiful a day to stay indoors and work so we went to see the exhibition of super star Colombian fashion photographer Ruven Afanador in the new cultural center Memoria de Andalucia in Granada. The exhibition Mil besos is a series of black and white stylized portraits of flamencas. Rufanador chose young girls and old women to transmit his vision of the mujer flamenca (flamenco woman), because as he says flamenco is an art which passes from generation to generation and the result is simply captivating and powerful.
I think Monchéri who is 100% Andalusian would like to be in the picture too...and do some palmas (clapping) in such good company !
I will post more pics of the exhibition Mil besos next wednesday....

Lala, so dramatic and fantastic...extreme flamenco! The rich contrast of the black and white and the scale makes these images so powerful.
He is so talented, I did a post with some of his work too. Fabulous.

Bellissime foto! SO powerful, Lala.
Black and white photography is so cool. You really have to have talent to execute black and white photographs.
I personally prefer achromatic photography over colored ones (despite my colorful pics on my blog). Anyway, I digress...
Your post makes me want to go to the exhibit.
I'm certain you can beautifully pull off the mujer flamenca look!
See?...Monchéri is waiting for you...
