Enrique Verdugo was born in Chile in December 1968 and grew up in Santiago. After some turbulent years and post dictatorship scenarios, he resolved to move and live in the Atacama desert for a couple of years.  He was changed by mystical experiences of living in these highlands. His passion for arts and literature made him embrace photography and film as his medium of expression.  Enrique returned to Santiago to start his visual studies where he worked as a freelance photographer and received recognition for his work.

Moved by the desire to experience new socio-politial cultures, he traveled to former Yugoslavia and lived in Ljubljana, Slovenia, working as an assistant to studio photographers, and later moved to London in 2001 where he still lives and works.        

Enrique’s body of work is multi faceted. He has been engaged for diverse commissions producing commercial work for industrial companies, architects studios as well as editorial.  He has collaborated on creative projects with visuals artists, musicians and performers with UK based and international dancers, lectured at the London festival of architecture and exhibited his work collectively and also in solo shows.

His photography often explores subjectivity and memory, experimenting with motion and the use of colour is recurrent, and his themes move from documentary, fiction to his own life.
