About 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.
