MARIANO VIVANCO

Peruvian fashion photographer Mariano Vivanco regularly shoots for many of the most prestigious international publications. Vivanco got his start in the fashion industry by shooting models’ book portraits in London. After numerous shots, he began to build a name for himself in the London fashion scene, which led to work with Dazed & Confused. Vivanco’s editorial work is consistently classically composed and often shot in black and white. His portraits, groups and nudes, are elegantly rendered examples of classic photography in the purist form.

The National Portrait Gallery in London displays three of his works: a portrait of a young Lily Cole, a shot of Formichetti, and an image of the choreographer Rafael Bonachela, commissioned for i-D Magazine in 2004. In addition to his photography, Vivanco has branched out into film, shooting videos for Dolce & Gabbana, Cesare Paciotti and Pull & Bear.
