Sergio Larraín Echeñique (1931 – 7 February 2012) was a Chilean photographer.
"[1] Photographs he took in Paris by Notre Dame Cathedral, which revealed scenes of a couple only upon processing, became the basis for Julio Cortázar's story, "Las Babas del Diablo", "The Devil's Drool", which in turn inspired Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blowup.
[2] He joined Magnum Photos as an associate in 1959 and became a full member in 1961.
"[1] Following the Bolivian guru Oscar Ichazo, he retreated from public and professional life to live in a Chilean mountain village, Tulahuén, and at an even more remote refuge that he built, taking up calligraphy and meditation.
[2][1] He also wrote and continued to make personal photography, including that of the Chilean port of Valparaíso.
