fototazo has asked a group of 50 curators, gallery owners, blog writers, photographers, academics and others actively engaged with Latin American photography to pick two early career photographers whose work deserves recognition.
This project aims to highlight great work being made in the region today and also to provide a starting point in both English and Spanish for exploring contemporary Latin American photography. LatAm f100 is a collaboration between fototazo and the photographer and educator

I met Victor Zea during our participation in the recent edition of
Trasatlantica in the city of Lima. There he shared the dummy of his photobook
Qosqokijllu with me, in which Zea crosses the streets of Cusco guided by the Andean light. The result leads the audience to a mysterious place where the Incan spirits reign.
