Photographic strategy focused on street and documentary photography captures the urban fabric and everyday rhythms of Valparaíso, a coastal city in Chile. Sergio Larrain’s work uses contrast, shadow, and composition to explore the complex social and architectural layering within the cityscape, highlighting the interplay of light and texture across its hills and narrow streets.
Valparaíso assembles 212 pages of black-and-white images that emphasize the city’s vibrant yet melancholic mood, revealing moments of human presence and absence amid the dense urban environment. The photographs often concentrate on details and spontaneous gestures, offering a nuanced meditation on space and human experience in an evolving port city.
