Santiago Harker Colombia, b. 1951
Humor and a very aesthetic eye, define Santiago Harker's photographs.
Forty years ago, I started taking documentary photographs of my trips. I visited countries where I did not speak the language and looked for scenes that would tell me something about their culture and generate thoughts and reflections of the place. With my photographs I created a memory of each trip. My work is done with humor because traveling has always made me happy.
