Abstract: For the first time the photographic work of Max T. Vargas, teacher of Martín Chambi and the Vargas brothers, is analyzed in a collective book edited by investigator Andrés Garay, Professor of the Faculty of Communication of the Universidad de Piura. Max T. Vargas (b. Lima, 1874 - d. Lima, 1959) was a photographer who began his career in Arequipa in 1896, and was active in the White Cityʺ until 1920, establishing itself as one of the best artists and successful photographic businessman of his time. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to photograph subjects in the South Andean and Peruvian-Bolivian Altiplano plateau, which would make tourist postcards later published in books and magazines. In parallel to the development of its luxurious Arequipa study (1903-1904), he founded a similar one in La Paz, Bolivia. On this phase of his international career, is centered this book.
