Mariano Vivanco, 1975, Peru, is a portrait, fine art and fashion photographer based in London and New York. He has done editorials for magazines as Dazed & Confused, L'Uomo Vogue and Another Magazine. Uomini is one of the several books he released for the Dolce & Gabbana label. It contains strong and classic photographs of young men either nude or in underwear reminding us of Greek and Roman sculptures. In 2008 he published the book Ninety Five Chapel Market which contains images from his first years in London including some young supermodels that have become household names. He has worked with a large number of celebrities as Lady Gaga, Lionel Messi and Dita von Teese. His images are powerful and vulnerable at the same time. The following images come from his book Uomini, his portfolio Editorial and the book Ninety Five Chapel Market.
The target of this website is embedded in its name; to post active image-makers until we reach 500 photographers. The photographers can be from any discipline within the photographic range, but they have to be worth looking at and have a certain level of quality. When we get to number 500, we will have a deep database of great photographers.
500 photographers is done by Pieter Wisse, a photographer himself based in Rotterdam, NL. For three years (2009-2012) he was the founder and owner of Four Eyes Photography & Art, a gallery and bookstore based in his hometown that also released Four Eyes Photography Magazine.
Once this website reaches photographer #500 it will be finished and done. It will then only be here with the function of being an archive of amazing photographers of the 21st century.
