Mariano Vivanco (born 15 December 1975) is a Peruvian fashion and portrait photographer. He traveled the world with his family, who eventually settled down in New Zealand. Mariano moved to London in the year 2000 to pursue his career as a fashion photographer.
Vivanco has since become an editorial photographer, regularly shooting for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Muse magazine, Dazed & Confused, Vogue Hommes Nippon, Numéro, Numéro Homme, i-D, DSection magazine, Hercules, and GQ.[1]
His portraits, nudes, and editorial work (in both men's and womenswear) are often in black and white. His subjects have included actors, athletes, singers, and models such as Cindy Crawford, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Emma Watson, Ricky Martin, Lionel Messi, Eva Mendes, Miranda Kerr, Chloë Sevigny, Dita von Teese, Donatella Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Sir Paul Smith, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lana Del Rey, Daniel Radcliffe, and Sam Smith.[2][3][4][5][6]
The National Portrait Gallery, London displays three of his works: a portrait of model Lily Cole, one of stylist (and frequent collaborator) Nicola Formichetti, and one of choreographer Rafael Bonachela, (commissioned for i-D Magazine in 2004).
Vivanco has also produced films. He began with experimental videos having models mime to his favorite songs.[citation needed] These soon translated into spots for Dolce & Gabbana, Cesare Paciotti and Pull and Bear. He created a video piece for the Thierry Mugler menswear show in January 2011 featuring Rick Genest, known as "Zombie Boy".
In 2013 Vivanco was named as one of the ‘500 Most Influential People In Fashion’ by the Business of Fashion.[7]
Mariano Vivanco was born in Lima in 1975, and was raised around the world, including Peru, New Zealand, as well as the United States.
He moved to London in the year 2000. Vivanco got his start in the industry by making model portfolios, something he later turned into a book project, Ninety Five Chapel Market.[8] Within a few years Vivanco was regularly shooting for magazines.
