RSSPhoto Story

Shaped by War. Don McCullin at Imperial War Museum North.

Acclaimed war photographer, Don McCullin, speaks candidly to Paul Herrmann on the eve of his major exhibition at Imperial War Museum North. Having spent his career either on or close to the front line, McCullin tells Herrmann that it was only when it struck him that ‘the real price of war was civilian’ that he realised the true purpose of war photography: to give a voice to the people in his images, that photography was merely a form of communication.
