Torero Photography Please
December 05, 2012
Powerful, dramatic, colorful....How much personality do they infuse in a room? A LOT!! The drama comes from the poses for sure, the color from their beautiful embroidered outfits, and the power from the act of fighting the bull. But really all this is magnified by the size of the prints. They work so well in this supersized format. I have no idea who the photographers are of these pieces, but I will investigate. (I think the second image may not be a photo but an actual torero suit...but the drama effect is what I'm after...and that purple!!)
The rest of the apartment of the first image is amazing see more of it here.
Last summer I caught this shot of a street performer dressed up as a torero in front of the Royal Palace in Madrid. Even though this suit is a "cheapie" you can still see all the handwork involved. Imagine what a real suit would look like.
I bet you that the next big subject in photography after beaches seen from a bird's eye view or Marfa's Prada store (don't get me wrong I love these too) will be bullfighters! Ha! Not a bad a idea.....there is so much character there to be explored.
On another note- If you are in the Dallas area this Friday and love skin care Tata Harper will be at Neiman Marcus (Northpark) giving a Master Class from 2:30 - 4. If you would like to come please email me and I will put you on the list. You can read more about her here.
And don't forget to enter The Aestate's giveaway here. It ends on Dec. the 10th at midnight! You don't want to miss it.
Happy Hump day!!

What beautiful pieces! I also love those chairs. Great inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteDid you see last night's episode of Million Dollar Decorators? MLB just changed that 3rd room into a "neutral" room. He replaced the bullfighters on either side of the door with mirrors!
ReplyDeleteYes, the last photo is part of Martyn Lawrence Bullard's living room. http://www.bravotv.com/million-dollar-decorators/season-2/photos/before-and-after/martyns-personal-before-and-after#image-143641

That first room is one of my faves! Ah, my heart skips a beat.
ReplyDeleteThese rooms are high voltage for sure. Love the way the fuchsia chairs and bullfighter suit work together in that second photo.
ReplyDeleteThese rooms are so powerful! The images are fabulous!!!

Love the bull fighter art! I recently bough two large Spanish portraits at an antique store similar to the 4th picture. Can't wait to hang them up in my bedroom!
