Ricardo Jiménez. Born in Caracas in 1951, Jiménez began to have contact with photography in the mid-70s. He trained as a photographer at the Frías de Caracas School, the Neumann Design Institute, the Sir John Cass School of Art and the Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design, among other centers.
