Ruven Afanador Nude Photography

Colombian, American, b. 1959

The flamboyant, imaginative photographs of Colombian-born Ruven Afanador include dramatic celebrity portraits and several series that play with beauty standards and the conventions of gender. Afanador has produced books based on his fine art photography that document bullfighters, flamenco dancers, and Indigenous cultures in Colombia Hijas del Agua, his series capturing the traditions, attire, and environments of 26 Indigenous communities in Colombia, was the subject of a 2021 exhibition at the National Museum of Colombia in Bogotá. Afanador’s book, Ángel Gitano: The Men of Flamenco, includes high-contrast, black-and-white images such as Eduardo Guerrero Gonzales “Cortijo Santa Teresa de Hornia” (2012) that depict male flamenco performers in somewhat unusual costumes and expressive poses. The series followed up on his 2009 Mil Besos series about female flamenco dancers. Afanador’s editorial work includes portraits of President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey, and has appeared in numerous publications such as New York magazine, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Vogue, Elle, and The New Yorker.

By Walter Briski Jr.
Located in New York, NY
Gelatin silver print Signed in pencil, verso This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Born in Vinhedo, a small town on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Walter Briski, Jr. began his interests in photography at the age of thirteen. He later moved to the city of Sao Paulo to pursue his passion, and after completing his studies at the Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Campinas, he began his career as a fashion photographer working with top national magazines such as “Brazilian Vogue,” “Brazilian Interview,” and “Trip.” Soon after, Briski moved to New York City in pursuit of advancing his career. In search of strengthening his art, he learned to master the technique of black-and-white printing while employed at a highly ranked film production house. There, he printed works for artists such as Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Gordon Parks, Matthew Barney, Steven Klein, Steven Meisel, Steven Sebring, and Ellen Von Unwerth. In the midst of printing images that were reproduced in magazines such as “Vogue,” “Harper’s Bazaar,” “W,” “L’Uomo Vogue,” “I.D.,” “Arena,” “The New York Times Magazine,” and “Interview,” he also began printing his own photographs. Briski has had the wonderful opportunity to work with top models and celebrities, including the Brewer twins, Carole King...
