We’re so excited to have you guys read the debut issue! In the meantime, we’ll be posting excerpts from the magazine’s first installment. Today’s titillating teaser bit includes “outtakes” from our interview with Chilean industrial/portrait/landscape photographer extraordinaire, Luis Ladrón de Guevara:
WINk: Who or what has been one of your biggest inspirations?
Luis Ladrón de Guevara: The photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson.
W: What inspires you now?
LLG: A stimulating day: sunny, cloudy or rainy.
W: What about inspiring places?
LLG: Guamblin Island in Southern Chile, where I lived a big adventure at sea in my youth.
W: If you could choose a song to have as a soundtrack while they showed your work on a televised retrospective, what song would it be?
LLG: “Aquellas pequeñas cosas” (Those little things). Sung by Spanish singer/author Joan Manuel Serrat.
W: What films have inspired you photographically?
LLG: “The Red Balloon” (Le Ballon Rouge).

Sounds pretty cool, I would love to go to Chile to see some of his work
Where can I see more of his work?
You can see more of his work in the magazine when it launches online. I’ll be sure to put up a blog post with the link. Also, he has a Flickr account. He’s great!
He sounds like such an interesting person and his work clearly reflects it. Thanks for introducing both to the uninitiated, such as myself.
