Impressed by Henri Cartier-Bresson, he will be offered to join the Magnum photo agency after sending his series Los abandonados about the abandoned children of the streets of Santiago. Sergio Larrain would have a carrier as a photo-reporter, working in many countries and for many magazines.


He will however slowly withdraw from the profession and the photography world, to stop completely in the later 1980s when he will fully dedicate his time to meditation, then practicing also drawing.
