This paper seeks to reflect on the processes of meaning of a particular use of documentary photography, how the photographic image is used not only to build documentation but also as witness image and social criticism from the aestheticization of representation and particular form of demonstration of the body. Taking this into consideration, we intend to research how some photographic reports can be considered from a referential and functional point of view as evidence that shows the existence of  the other in situations of misery, unhappiness and physical and /or psychological deterioration. Instead of representing world events, these productions express their existence. It is not about the register of the event (related to the file, news, to document and memory) but the production of images that make undercovered situations appear, in the shape of photographic testimony.
