Born in 1966, in the wine region of Buin, Chile, Victor Diaz Lamich had a peaceful childhood, which was brutally interrupted by the 1973 Chilean coup d'état by dictator Pinochet against the democratically elected president Salvador Allende. His family then moved to Quebec, Canada.
He travelled all across Canada, but it is the rediscovery of his native land, "this new Chile post-dictatorship" where he made his way back to his roots and culture, that taught him, the singularity of its itinerary. Thereafter, his existence is made up of travel. His work in environmental chemistry makes him travel around South America, devoting all his energies to major environmental issues. Everywhere a camera in hand, soon photography became his sole passion.
