Many who were lucky to spend time with a great talent and a beloved friend have suffered great loss with the death of Fernando Farfan. Born on November 30, 1961, this talented photographer left a long-lasting artistic vision. The leaving on August 28, 2024, has profoundly affected everyone who has seen his original viewpoint on catching events of life. The details of his death haven’t been made public at the time of publishing.
Within the Rendez-vous Photos club, relationships developed from a common enthusiasm. Every interaction, whether it involved seasoned experts or young amateurs, was typified by an inclusive attitude whereby a genuine warmth and relentless generosity were always shown. Fernando’s style to photography was unique; he arrived at events carrying a familiar, timewold camera in hand. Unlike many, his perspective was formed by a focus on quality above quantity. Carefully crafted, each frame was inspired by the conviction that a picture should evoke real feeling and intent.
Often capturing just a few well chosen views, he would be a meticulous, patient observer who valued moments more than photographs and chose depth over volume. Beyond his work, his modest upbringing and simple generosity define him. Always in great spirits and ready to provide direction, such qualities had a lasting effect on many people. His appearance and demeanour had a great influence—not by grandeur but rather by real acts of compassion.
Friends, relatives, and colleagues have all felt great resonance in the news of this great loss. A real mirror of a life lived with honesty and purpose, permanently changing every heart. Many will remember a kind soul always ready to provide encouragement and support. We shall really miss his grin and attitude, which are so strongly related to his memories.
Though absent now, the impact is still clearly active. Every picture taken and every shared moment still reflects the core of a giving heart and creative sensibility. May this legacy remind us of the light a life committed to both work and friendship shares.
