Sergio Larraín

Sergio Larraín Echeñique (1931 – 7 February 2012) was a Chilean photographer. He was a member of Magnum Photos during the 1960s. He is considered the most important Chilean photographer in history, making street photography, often of street children, using "shadow and angles in a way few had tried before."

Photographs he took in Paris by Notre Dame Cathedral, which revealed scenes of a couple only upon processing, became the basis for Julio Cortázar's story, "''Las Babas del Diablo''", "The Devil's Drool", which in turn inspired Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film ''Blowup''. Provided by Wikipedia
