Don McCullin

Don McCullin is one of our greatest living photographers. Over the past six decades he has proved himself to be a photojournalist without equal, whether documenting the poverty of London’s East End or the horrors of wars in Africa, Asia or the Middle East. His Nikon camera once stopped a bullet. He photographed the Beatles at the height of their fame. In recent years he has chronicled the English countryside, in particular the landscapes around his Somerset home. His haunting and beguiling latest book Journeys Across Roman Asia Minor has been called “the most beautiful book I have seen”. In conversation with Rosie Goldsmith, McCullin will explain why photography “is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
