A philosophy graduate from the Sorbonne in Paris, Peruvian photographer Pedro Jarque has won numerous distinctions throughout his career, notably thanks to his captivating portraits of wild animals, through his desire to restore some of their stolen dignity (Sony World Photography Awards, Prix de la Photo PX3, Moscow International Foto Awards, International Photography Awards). The darkness of the backdrop and the play of light and shade allow the photographer to create the atmosphere necessary to approach the animals emotionally.
