Don McCullin is a household name in the photographic community, but as far as he is concerned, it’s for all the wrong reasons. In this incredibly poignant and thought-provoking interview, he shares his thoughts about an illustrious career that was spent photographing atrocities, and left him somewhat haunted.
In a profile from last year, McCullin described the inspiration for his work:
“In my photography I always lean towards the underprivileged because that’s where I came from,” says McCullin. “When I went to the wars I attempted to go and stand by those who were being trodden on. By that I mean people like the Palestinians. When I go to India I see really the poorest people and I tend to be drawn to them. You could say they are life’s losers but it’s society that has categorised them as such and made them be lost.”
