Colombian-born photographer Nereo has been telling stories through his photographs for 60 years. The New York based artist recently has published his first book outside of his native country, “Images from Half a Century,” which includes images from his photographic essays on the Amazon jungle, Bogotá and his friend Gabriel García Márquez. 

Interviewed at NY1 Noticias, he claimed that, upon looking at some of his photographs, he normally wondered how did he make them. “It was an impulse,” he said.
