Don McCullin geëerd door Royal Photographic Society
Don McCullin will be presented with the Centenary Medal of The Society at The Royal Photographic Society Annual Awards, which take place in London in October. The Centenary Medal is awarded in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography. Don is heralded as one of the greatest photographers of conflict of the modern age. His first press award was for photographing the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961 and his assignments covered war, famine and poverty throughout the world.
However degrading the circumstances, his images document human conflict and grief with compassion through his own moral code. McCullin moved to photograph landscapes, aids victims in Africa and the tribes of Ethiopia. He has recently returned from photographing the conflict in Darfur and is an extremely worthy winner of this coveted award.
