During the recent Lux 2023 Awards gala, Spain's photography community came together to celebrate excellence and creativity in its field. Miguel Ángel Cruzado stood out by receiving the Lux de Oro photography award in the category of personal projects for his work "El Legado de Luis Raluy." This work, in analog format, represents a tribute to the late circus artist and captures the essence of the Raluy Circus, a typical family business that has prospered through more than five generations.
The Lux Awards ceremony, which honors the most outstanding photographers in various categories, becomes a platform that celebrates the fusion of tradition and modernity in the art of photography. This event not only highlights exceptional work in fields such as documentary reporting, advertising and portraiture, but also recognizes the relevance of capturing and preserving family stories, as demonstrated by Miguel Ángel Cruzado's award-winning work on the Circo Raluy.
The work on the Raluy Circus, Lux de Oro photography award
Recognized as a typical example of a family business, Circo Raluy has managed to keep a rich tradition alive in a rapidly changing world. The preservation of this family legacy, which photographer Miguel Ángel Cruzado has masterfully portrayed, highlights the importance of tradition, innovation and adaptation within family businesses. Cruzado's work, as well as Circo Raluy itself, are testimonies to the power of practices and values passed down through generations, demonstrating how work well done can thrive even in modernity.
The importance of family business protocol It is evident in the transmission of ownership and management of Circo Raluy over five generations. This protocol, essential in preserving the legacy and history of the circus through generations, has been fundamental to the continuity and success of Circus Raluy. The family protocol establishes how the ownership and management of the company is transmitted from one generation to the next, it must be formalized in a public deed before a notary in a similar way to how they are formalized inheritances and wills at the notary, and it is a crucial aspect for the longevity of family businesses.
