Product Description
Ruven Afanador—one of today’s most respected and in-demand editorial and fashion photographers—presents Mil Besos, a unique and arresting vision of the flamenco women of Spain. Often photographed wearing haute couture creations that were inspired by their dancing, the women’s vibrant and dramatic personalities come alive in Afanador’s portraits. This instant classic is an homage to the passions and traditions of the soon-to-be-lost culture of flamenco, a singular art form that has influenced the work of filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, as well as fashion designers John Galliano and Diane von Furstenberg, who have contributed insightful texts to this luxuriously produced monograph. Mil Besos will appeal to classic photography lovers, dance enthusiasts, and fashionistas alike.

 Mil Gracias por Mil Besos October 21, 2009

This is a high quality book based on an amazing exhibit featuring Afanador's postmodern vision of Gypsy flamenco women.
 Beware of Mil Besos September 30, 2009

The book fails to live up to my expectations: I expected color because The New Yorker Magazine (14 Sep) shows two pictures in color with a caption that says Afanador "reinterprets" these pictures in Mil Besos which, I now discover, is strictly black and white. The New Yorker editorial office claims "reinterprets" means black and white. The New Yorker editorial office also says the Amazon listing states the book is black and white but that is incorrect. Any resemblance between this book and expensive "coffee table" art books is only in the high list price. The book's physical quality is below standard. As for the text, the one-page tributes to Afanador--each supposedly "signed" and written by each of the famous designers--are so similar to one another in style, content and length that either they are amazingly coincidental or the work of one publicist. Afanador and buyers of the book deserve better. My book will go back to Amazon for a full refund.
