About Pollo Dighero

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I still live at. I´ve studied Art History at the Museum of Fine Arts. Photojournalism at the Photo Club Buenos Aires. Postgraduate Documentary Photography in the Argentina Association of Photographers (incomplete). Searching for my path, I´ve travelled for nine months along Asia and that’s how my first contact with photography came along. In 2004, my photographs on the hunting of whales in the island of Lamalera, Indonesia, promoted the chain's documentary German Television Network: ZDF: “Vermächtnis eines Walfängers” and formed the image of the international version of it, entitled "Blood Money "Testimony of the Whaler", but despite of that brief “success” I was still feeling lost. After a couple of years the destiny took me to the Valles Calchaquies at the Province of Salta, at the North West of the country, one of the sacred valleys of the American Continent, and what I’ve finally discovered as my place in the world.
