Collection of fine art photoworks of Central America: colour photographs of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Cuba, Central America (Latin America).
Photographer and artist, Andrew Johnson, spent fourteen months travelling Central America, 1996 - 1997.
He relished the unique new world of diverse cultural wealth where the histories of major civilisations were still a mythical part of daily life. Political tensions, social injustice and the wide spread abuse of human rights was a reality for many people that he met on his travels. He found a world of opposites - great inequalities that politics frequently chose to ignore. The local people strove for political fairness and inclusion with great resilience and authenticity which sometimes cost them their lives. Central America's great humanity, social upheavals and culture wealth was an influence that will never leave him. Using a small, unobtrusive camera he recorded a panopoly of everyday experiences which became a large body of photographic work.
Open and limited-edition, fine art prints and photographs will soon be for sale on this website.
