Jorge Luis Diéguez
Peruvian Photographer and Cinematographer based in London.

I grew up in Lima, a dense, largely unplanned city where nothing quite lines up. Its architectural incoherence taught me to find beauty in forms and patterns that seem broken, mismatched, or unfinished. That sensibility runs through my practice, which returns to abandoned and disrupted landscapes to examine the social and environmental tensions born of land appropriation and mass displacement.

Beyond the city, the desert was always there. Vast, quiet and largely untouched, it framed my whole upbringing, and its stillness revealed a kind of purity to anyone willing to look long enough. It gave me room for deep reflection, and it still shapes the meditative, spatial quality of my work.

My training in Cinematography and Architecture gave me two ways of seeing, one attentive to light and time, the other to structure and space. A Master's degree in Photographic Studies brought them together.

My work has been exhibited and published, and is part of the Jan Mulder Collection.
