After photographer Jero Gonzales graduated from the Image Center (School of Photography, Lima, Peru), he returned to Cusco to start personal projects related to Andean ethnography and landscape. Along with his personal work, he organizes and develops visual education workshops with children and young people from Quechua-speaking communities, where the visual arts become an avenue to engage with issues of identity and cultural heritage. As a photographer he has a deep interest in the territory and the Quechua language. The use of large format and medium format analog cameras, he believes, allows viewers to realize new visual possibilities, through the exploration and combination of historical and modern photographic processes.
