In the Flesh

This is a project undertaken during a workshop with Vee Speers at the Rencontres Photographiques d’Arles in July 2014. The project focuses on adolescents learning to become professional bullfighters at the Ecole Taurine d’Arles. Their expressions carry the fragility of adolescence but also the strength and the self-determination related to their career choice. This also about femininity and masculinity as both intertwine interestingly in the ritual of bullfighting.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me during my time in Arles (Vee, of course, and Marianne from the Rencontres d’Arles, Pierre and Rayan, the models, and David who is present in the series through his costume!).
