Abstract

This article analyzes the mechanisms that led certain photographs, especially war photos, to stand out of all the violent images that reach us every day, becoming iconic of these events. The idea is try to understand which elements, such as great emotional appeal and wide distribution on mass media, are common in these photographs and think a bit about how these images are constructed, in and out of the camera, and on the importance of portraying the war.
