    On January 19th, 2010, photojournalist Paul Hansen took a photograph of a fifteen- year-old girl named Fabienne Cherisma, who’d been shot dead by police in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In March of the following year, Hanen’s picture was chosen as the Best International News Image at the Swedish Picture of the Year Awards, an award that would ignite a long-standing debate over the ethics of photographing disasters. No stranger to controversy, Hansen has a history of award-winning photography that pushes boundaries, a practice that has been prevalent throughout photojournalism since its earliest uses. His images often depict moments of tragedy and suffering seen in areas steeped in conflict or the throes of a disaster.
