Sergio Larrain

In case you haven't come across this late, Chilean photographer's work - I can highly recommend his images - you'll be in for a real treat.
I've had a copy of his book for a few years and never tire of looking at the images and reading the interesting text.

Thanks Shac. I wasn’t familiar with him and enjoyed the images. He’s very good.

A great photographer whose eye looked both inside as well as outside. I particularly appreciate his "Valparaiso".

As someone who lives in Chile, I would say he is by far the most popular photographer here amongst the street photography crowd ... not many people here buy books (a lot more expensive here than in the USA), but they buy Valparaiso. I've spent a lot of time in Valparaiso and it is a great place to photograph.

For sure he was an excellent photographer.

Worthwhile to look at his work in the Magnum site: https://www.magnumphotos.com/photographer/sergio-larrain/

I guess a post about his camera would do better here! 😉

Something must have changed in the way Magnum works. In the past I could use the advanced Search option on the website but now I can't. Asks for login details and payment methods.

Probably so especially if he used a Leica.

I've been a fan of "Valparaiso" since discovering the book. His photos have that formalist/humanitarian look I admire.
