Don McCullin in conversation with William Dalrymple To many, Don McCullin is one of our greatest living photographers, often cited as an inspiration for today’s photojournalists. Here, McCullin speaks candidly about his three-decade career covering wars and humanitarian disasters on virtually every continent and the photographs that often defined historic moments. From 1969 to 1984, he was The Sunday Times’ star photographer, where he covered stories from the civil war in Cyprus to the war in Vietnam, from the man-made famine in Biafra to the plight of the homeless in the London of the swinging sixties. His more recent work consists of a different kind of photography, notably landscape photography. We explore not only McCullin’s life and work, but how the ethos of journalism has changed throughout his career and the history of photojournalism told through the lens of one of its most acclaimed photographers.
