About Artist
Juan Carlos .
Emmy Award winner and freelance photographer, producer and occasional DP, covering the Western Hemisphere and sometimes other parts of the world while also pursuing personal documentary projects. Focusing on under-reported issues and current events, documenting social issues and humanitarian crisis in conflict-affected societies. Born in El Salvador, Central America but immigrated to the United States during the mid-1980’s settling in Los Angeles, California. I also work on long-term projects around the world, especially in the ongoing post-conflict situation in my native country of El Salvador. I believe that the role of a photojournalist becomes more important when you hear the testimonies of a victim or when you witness the harm one human being causes another. I am a storyteller working for the world’s leading publications as well as NGOs. I still love shooting film especially monochrome for many of my long term projects but have digital photo equipment for the current demand of the media industry. Nowadays, I am based between San Salvador, El Salvador but always moving.
