Pedro Jarque Krebs (born 1963)[1] is a Peruvian wildlife photographer, best known for his darkly ambianced, studio- quality close-up portraits of beasts, large birds, and other wild animals.[2][3][4] He has won photography awards including Sony World Photography Awards, SipaContest, IPA, and Px3.[5] Jarque was born in Lima. His Spanish full name is often quoted as Pedro Jarque Krebs.
Career
Jarque graduated in Philosophy of Science from the Sorbonne University in Paris, and educated himself as a photographer since he was a child, when he began playing with his fatherly-gift camera taking pictures of tadpoles and frogs at a pond near his house.[6][7] Jarque's artwork has been frequently published in NatGeo. [8][9][10][11] Jarque's photographic exhibition Fragile was on solo display at the Peruvian Embassy Gallery (Washington,D.C.) in 2019.[12] In commentators' words, Jarque's photographs "aim to break down the psychological and emotional barriers that separate us from our fellow creatures, capturing every animal in an atmosphere of breathtaking intimacy,"[1] and constitute "a cry against species extinction."[13]
