Luis Dominguin. Arles 1960
In the Arles arena in 1960, bullfighter Luis Dominguin is captured mid-air as he evades a charging bull. Dressed in an elaborate "suit of lights" (*traje de luces*), he twists to look back at the powerful animal, a pair of banderillas held in his outstretched hands. The dark bull rushes past with its head lowered, its momentum conveyed by blurred motion. In the background, spectators watch intently from behind a wooden barrier, with the ancient stone walls of the amphitheater rising behind them.
