Ivan Pierre Aguirre

Ivan Pierre Aguirre is a student at the University of Texas at El Paso. Last summer (08) I completed a successful internship in the photo department at Sports Illustrated in NYC. Amazing experience and city! I have also interned as a multimedia intern at Washingtonpost.com, and as a photo intern at: Scripps Howard News Service and San Angelo Standard-Times. I love to shoot and like showing people that EP has shooters too! I just recently won my first CPOY awards and I am stoked! It is guaranteed that the list of CPOY winners every year is going to have 90 percent of students from Brooks, Western Kentucky, Mizzou and Ohio University and I am happy to see UTEP finally on that list!

Ivan Pierre Aguirre was born in El Paso, Texas, which is on the border with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Ivan began looking through a camera viewfinder in high school where he worked for the yearbook and newspaper for four years. His greatest learning experience was the Eddie Adams Workshops and assisting Joachim Ladefoged from VII Photo Agency on a photo shoot for The New York Times magazine, PLAY.
