I recently came across
Aitor Lara's Ronda Goyesco, a beautifully photographed book filled with gorgeous B&W reproductions; it covers the primitively sadistic bloodsport known as bull fighting that is forever ingrained into and protected by "culture." That said, Lara covers all aspects of this highly ritualized blood letting: the pomp and circumstance, the fashion and traditions, the fear and emotion behind the stands and within the arena, and finally, a peak at the action itself, and its aftermath. As if that wasn't enough, he even throws in some remarkable studio style portraits. Unfortunately, I could not find any quality representations of this work online, not even on
his website- so I opted instead to include some exquisite samples of his other work...
