THE BEST

I want to talk about Sergio Larrain, he wasn’t a film maker.  He was a photographer and it’s a kind of a myth. Born in Santiago de Chile in 1931 and his the most important photographer in the history of our country and died in the rural locality of Ovalle, converted in a species of mystical man. In his youth, he went to study engineering to the United States, but didn’t like it, so prefer to study photography in the University of Michigan.  He was the first Latin-American photographer what work in the magnum agency, the most important agency of the world. His photos was in many museums of the world, but in Chile his didn’t remember.

 I love his pictures because, he show us in a new perspective the quotidian life. All the compositions of his photos are made to highlights the emotions of the situations. The larrain’s most acclaimed work was: Valparaiso.  In this work, we see the city, before mentioned more beautiful than usually is, and the characters of his pictures looks like from another magical site.
