He collaborated with the magazine "Capital" in Chile from the first issue until 2003. In 1997, he started his series "Quartiers du monde" which led him to travel to the four corners of the planet during the ten years he devoted to it. In 2003, he moved to Paris where he has been living and working ever since, continuing his work as a portraitist at Harcourt and his personal work. He collaborates with "Marie-Claire" (France) and "Cosas" (Chile). Capital Marie-Claire Cosas
In 2004, he began to exhibit in France his series "Quartiers du Monde" at festivals and photo associations, art fairs and especially at the Jamault Gallery. Since 2006, the gallery represents him in Paris. McManus has exhibited his work in Chile, France, the United States, the Netherlands, Portugal, Japan and China.
In 2005, he began developing the series "Evolution", which will be exhibited for the first time at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) in Santiago, Chile in 2009.

Since 2012, McManus lives and works between Paris, Santiago and Pucon (Chile) with the ultimate goal of exchanging experiences in the fields of work, art and teaching.
McManus is now represented in France by the Jamault and Blin plus Blin galleries.
"The series of portraits entitled Evolution, by suggesting nudity, encourages the viewer to identify with a sphere of Being stripped of all social, cultural or historical ornament. Like so many mirrors, the portraits reveal an existential condition that we do. have forgotten at one point in our history, so it is not surprising that McManus renounces the representation of the body, which he knows is increasingly becoming an object of cultivation for idolaters.
This work was awarded the UNESCO label in 2010 as part of the Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures. "
