Faith in bullfighting is a personal photographic project that collects intimate moments of promising young men in the art of bullfighting (they are called "Novilleros", because they are bullfighters who deal with steers - bulls of less weight and age). They are not famous or well-known bullfighters. They are young people trying to find an opportunity in this world. Most of them are Catholic believers, with a deep faith that one day the opportunity to succeed in the world of bullfighting will come.
