PORTRAITS of BREEDERS (the pamphlet)
BY PAOLO MAZZO — ROBERTO BENZI — MIRKO NESURINI
During the project “Reglas y Pasión” we met many breeders who are introduced in this first work that is given back to them as a tribute. It is printed as a limited edition with 250 copies and was published in 2013 by Work Style for Sicab 2016. Reglas y Pasión is a book followed by a photographic reportage focusing on some of the most prestigious breedings of PRE (Pure Spanish Horses) of Andalucia. In time there will be the opportunity for a second edition. The project is about people who breed horses, the places where they work and the horse itself. The photographic reading key is of the observer distracted from technicality, focalized on the appeal of an ancient sector where old rules and modern passions live together.
Rules and Passion flies to NYC

There are passions that become jobs and jobs that can’t be done without passion… One of these jobs was the spark for this report.
