La sagrada obsesión por capturar al personaje. Un encuentro con el fotógrafo peruano Herman Schwarz

Abstract

This interview offers to our readers the artist’s eye on his own work. This opens not only a new perspective of
critical analysis of the discourse or the artistic object (there is a marked critical tendency not to consider
the words of the artist), but also complements other possible approaches or readings. In this case, it is
Herman Schwarz, a notable Peruvian photographer, who has worked with solvency on different fields during
the last forty years, ranging from documentary photography to the poetics of the portrait, through the use of
the image as a social and documentary tool. The voice of the photographer is the guide who will discover the
pillars of his vocation and explain in detail the characteristics of his speech.
