TZIPAC 43mm Issue 5 - Winners of Zebra Awards and GoPix Awards

Jaime Travezan
While studying architecture in my
hometown, Lima, I got a job as a
journalist in a local newspaper. Many
of the articles had to be documented
with photographs, this made me take
a camera and start to do my first
pictures.
Once settled in Europe, I started to
work as a photographer. Always
following my curiosity, I explored many
sides of this profession: fashion and
portraiture, commissioned by glossy
magazines (Elle, Vogue, Tatler, ID, etc)
and photojournalism, publishing in
different newspapers (The Times, El
Pais, L’Événement du jeudi, La Tercera,
etc), covering subjects such as the
Kosovo War winner at The Guardian
Photography Prize, among others.
In 2013, after two years work, I’ve
finalised Proyecto Mírame, Lima, a
series of 50 family portraits aiming to
reflect the cultural, ethnical, religious
diversities present within the peruvian
capital. It has won the 2013 SEE ME
Awards for Photography, and the 2013
PDN Awards. Two of the images have
been selected for exhibition at the
National Portrait Gallery of London as
part of the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize
2012 and 2013.
Besides that I’m always interested in
new challenges and that’s the reason
why I have been taking photographs
of architecture and then doing collages
with most of the pictures.
