and artistic projects.
Uray means "down there" in Quichua, and Yaku, "water". Urayaku is an underwater and aerial audiovisual production company in which we conceptualize and produce authentic images from the depths of the sea for scientific dissemination, environmental conservation and artistic projects.
Driven by the photographer and professional diver, Fernando Cornejo Würfl, this project seeks to connect people through images with the diversity that exists in the depths of the ocean, generating images with the highest quality in photography and video.
Urayaku also seeks to create a community around the passion and craft of underwater photography. Therefore, it not only offers services as an audiovisual production company, but it is also willing to create collaborations and alliances with scientists, journalists, NGOs, scientific magazines and any person interested in this art.
Among the services offered as a production company are underwater photography, the creation of scientific documentaries, informative tablets, scientific documentation, corporate videos, aerial photography and videos, among others.
Urayaku is above all a project that seeks to generate images committed to the beauty and richness hidden in the underwater world, and through them, to call for the conservation of the seas as a source of life.

Zhènlǐ
We explore nature and the elements that inhabit it, looking for patterns and flows that inhabit the human body. We reflect through photography the cosmovision of Chinese medicine and in this adventure we travel through the systems of the human body that are reflected in the nature of the Earth and the cosmos.
At the beginning of 2021, the physician and specialist in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Juan Francisco Cornejo Pinto, proposed to the photographer Fernando Cornejo Würfl a mission: to create images of nature that would allow him to explain to his patients how the patterns that occurred in the wild world, were expressed exactly the same in the human organism.
Thus began this collaboration between photography and science that they called Zhèn Lǐ 正理. In traditional Chinese, Zhèn 正 means "rectify, original order," and Lǐ 理 means "universal pattern." Zhèn Lǐ 正理 then means "to return to the original universal pattern". With this intention, both found a point of affinity between what Traditional Chinese Medicine seeks with its patients, and what for its part environmental conservation and Cornejo Würfl seeks with his photography: to protect and care for the original pattern of nature.
On a monthly basis, the conversations and exchanges became more and more stimulating because of the challenge they proposed to the photographer: to go into nature in search of these patterns; to express them sensitively in an image. It also meant an awakening in the understanding of the natural world: to see in a spider's web, the network of the nervous system in our body, to see in the soil of an arid desert the same cracks that appear on the tongue if there is a blood deficiency.
This project has invited Cornejo Würfl to portray with poetry, authenticity, and diversity how our body is a manifestation of our planet; and there have been so many findings that now they seek to share this creative and scientific feedback with the world.
