[edit] Life and Work
After founding and managing his lucrative investment bank in Caracas, Venezuela for twenty years Mr. López de Haro eventually sold his company and retired to Paris, France. Here he would dedicate most of his time to photography and writing. His writings have been published in the Venezuelan Internet journal Analitica Venezuela and the topics usually have to do with the arts and politics. In 1997 he was admitted into the British Institute of Professional Photography until he decided to dedicate himself to art photography rather than more commercial photography. Mr. López de Haro works mostly with platinum prints. In November of 2005 his first book of photographs and poems Los Crepúsculos de la Imaginación was published by Lodima Press: Publishers of Fine Photography Books. Notable buyers of the book have included the Maison Européenne de la Photographie and Karl Lagerfeld’s art bookshop Librairie 7L in Paris, France. Mr. López de Haro currently lives between Paris, France and Madrid, Spain with his wife.
He is a good friend of other distinguished photographers such as Carl Weese, Paula Chamlee, Michael A. Smith, Jens Knige and Burkhadt Kiegeland (founder and inventor of the Lotus Camera).
His father was Venezuelan businessman Antonio López Fajardo.
