Paper short abstract:

What makes the shift for a photojournalist to become a portraitist, documenter and art photographer? How does an artist respond to the struggles of the people around him? What role can photography and art play in post-conflict social landscapes? Oscar examines the work of Hernández-Salazar, one of the most influential photographers of Central America. http://danielhernandezsalazar.blogspot.com
