A remarkable interview with arguably Britain's greatest living photographer, Sir Don McCullin. He opens up about his career in-and-out of war zones, saying he's been “damaged” by some of the things he saw in Vietnam, Biafra and elsewhere, and that he was “poisoned” by his profession. McCullin talks about some of his most dramatic photos and about feeling like he was “stealing” images of suffering. The legendary photojournalist also analyses the craft of modern war photography in an age of heavily restricted battlefield access and citizen journalists. Plus, Lionel dissects the latest in the competition to own the Telegraph and Alan updates us about his quest to uncover whether there was interference from a BBC director in who would become chair of the media regulator Ofcom.Enjoy one-month's free trial to Prospect's digital content, and get full access to rigorously fact-checked, truly independent analysis and perspectives.

Dans L'atelier des médias, le photographe britannique Don McCullin revient sur son parcours hors du commun, en professionnel de l'image fixe qui a traversé la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle et notamment ses conflits. Vietnam, Biafra, Cambodge ou encore Liban… Le photographe britannique Don McCullin, maintenant âgé de 88 ans, a couvert nombre de conflits. Début octobre, il était à Bayeux, pour présider le jury de la 30e édition du prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie des correspondants de guerre.Pour L'atelier des médias de RFI, Raphaël Krafft a tendu son micro à Don McCullin.Extraits choisis : « Nous faisons ce métier parce que nous essayons de trouver la paix dans le monde. Essayer d'expliquer pourquoi nous avons ces guerres catastrophiques qui éclatent chaque année. Dès que l'une d'elles se termine, une autre commence. Nous essayons d'expliquer ces confrontations mais bon, bien que nous fassions notre métier, ces guerres continuent années après années. »« Au début, je ne m'intéressais qu'au combat entre les hommes. Mais bien sûr, ils n'étaient jamais les victimes eux-mêmes, enfin si, ils le devenaient parfois à la fin. Mais les vraies victimes étaient celles qui n'avaient pas commencé la guerre. Les femmes et les enfants ne commencent pas les guerres mais ils sont les premiers à en souffrir notamment lorsque leurs maisons sont bombardées. L'exemple parfait, c'est Gaza aujourd'hui. »« Vous savez, la photographie a été une drôle d'aventure pour moi parce que j'ai quitté l'école à l'âge de 15 ans, je n'avais aucune éducation et je pensais à cette époque que la photographie resterait un simple et agréable passe-temps dans ma vie. Et je me disais : ne t'en fais pas, personne ne sait que tu n'as pas d'éducation, parle de photographie, c'est tout. Et c'est incroyable à quel point ça a été tout le contraire. J'ai toujours eu une démarche politique dans ma façon de prendre des photos. Même pour les paysages, regardez, ils sont menacés par la pollution et autres. De nos jours, tout est politique. »« Je suis enthousiasmé par mes photographies, enfin, j'étais enthousiasmé par mes photos. Je deviens vieux. Je crois que ma vie de photographe va s'arrêter cette année. »Dans cette émission, vous entendez aussi Michel Guerrin, rédacteur en chef au journal Le Monde, qui a cosigné Don McCullin, le monde dans le viseur, aux éditions des Équateurs. Il raconte Don McCullin et explique en quoi ce Britannique issu d'un milieu populaire a marqué de son empreinte le reportage de guerre et la photographie de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle.Mondoblog audio fait entendre le blogueur camerounais Ecclésiaste Deudjui à propos du permis de conduire dans son pays.

In 1968, British photographer Sir Don McCullin travelled to Vietnam for his second ever war assignment. His graphic photographs of the fighting made his reputation and influenced public opinion in the West. Sir Don produced some of his most powerful work during the visit including 'Shell-Shocked US Marine, The Battle of Hue'. The photograph shows an American soldier, gripping his rifle whilst the carnage of one of the war's most intense battle surrounds him. Speaking to Louise Hidalgo in 2012, Sir Don describes how he took several frames of this man and how the soldier didn't blink once.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Before serving as Horticulturist of Haskell Public Gardens, Mc Cullin was the Senior Horticulturalist at The Native Plant Trusts Garden in the Woods. Prior to that, McCullin was selected as a Garden Club of America and Royal Society of Horticulture Scholar to intern at a variety of important public gardens in the UK. She also served as an apprentice at Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum in Boston, and as a Landscape Coordinator at the Central Park Conservancy in New York City.

For the final episode of this series, Catherine Fairweather talks to renowned photographer, Sir Don McCullin CBE. For the past 50 years he has proved himself 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. Simultaneously he has proved an adroit artist capable of beautifully arranged still lifes, soulful portraits and moving landscapes. He also happens to be Catherine's husband which allows her to ask questions she has never yet asked him - about his reputation as a hard-bitten war photographer, his thirst to learn about new cultures and their very first meeting.

In this short bonus episode Sam and Paul visit the Sir Don McCullin 'Stillness of Life' Exhibition in Somerset. Held at Hauser & Wirth venue in Bruton, Somerset - this exhibition features over 60 images of various landscapes. Sam and Paul discuss their first impressions and how they reacted to and engaged with the images upon first viewing. Check out more info here: https://www.hauserwirth.com/hauser-wirth-exhibitions/26511-don-mccullinthe-stillness-life TEXT FROM THE GALLERY (Hauser & Wirth): "Regarded as one of the most accomplished war photographers of recent times, McCullin has spent the last six decades travelling to remote locations and witnessing harrowing scenes of conflict and destruction. Often referring to the British countryside as his greatest salvation, McCullin demonstrates the full mastery of his medium with stark black and white images resonating with human emotion. This personal survey depicts scenes from across the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, revealing McCullin’s innermost feelings through powerful compositions of wild heavens, haunting vistas and meditative still lifes. Having been evacuated to the safety of Somerset during the Blitz, McCullin has had a lifelong connection with the open farmland and hill country of the South West, feeling at peace within the solitude of the expansive landscape. The largest body of work featured in the exhibition explores local areas within walking distance of the photographer’s home, including ‘The River Alham near my house, Somerset’ (2007), ‘The Dew Pond, Somerset’ (1988) and ‘Batcombe Vale’ (1992-93). McCullin is able to evoke dramatic painterly representations of his home county with quiet confidence, shifting between the flooded lowlands of the Somerset levels to woodland streams, nearby monuments and historic hill forts."

Don McCullin is arguably Britain's most famous photojournalist, most well known for his iconic and heart-rending war photography. In this episode, Rob and Nathan visit a powerful retrospective at the Tate Britain of his 50-year career and reflect on how his images shook the world. 

The photographers, David Bailey and Don McCullin, came to prominence in the 1960s but their pictures did more than define a decade. Don McCullin's work in Vietnam, Biafra, Northern Ireland, Cyprus and the Middle East have come to epitomise what we mean by war photography and David Bailey's portraits of Jean Shrimpton, Mick Jagger and Catherine Deneuve established a new idiom for glamour. Yet fame has tended to obscure the full range of both men's work. Bailey, for example, has produced a huge volume of images conjuring up a spectral London as well as his portraits while McCulllin has infused the Somerset levels where he now lives with a haunted beauty. As Philip Dodd discovered when he visited David Bailey in his studio and caught up with Don McCullin on the eve of his Tate show both men have vivid memories of the Blitz and were transformed by their experience of National Service. Don McCullin is on show at Tate Britain until May 6th 2019. David Bailey: The Sixties is on show at Gagosian Gallery, Davies Street in London until March 30th. Producer: Zahid Warley

Tate Britain has opened its first-ever photography retrospective: a 60-year survey of work by Don McCullin, famed for his depictions of conflict around the world. Robert Bound is joined by Zed Nelson, Kathlene Fox-Davies and Eddy Frankel to discuss it.

Hear the wonderful story of how God changed the life of a pastor who was in the ministry for 22 years!

In 1968 Norman Lewis wrote an article called Genocide in Brazil. The photographs that accompanied it were by Don McCullin. Lewis later said that this one piece of journalism was the great achievement of his life. It led directly to the creation of Survival International and a change in the law relating to the treatment of indigenous people in Brazil. Lewis is known as a brilliant writer - one of our best, said Graham Greene, 'not of any particular decade of our century'. He's best remembered for A Dragon Apparent and Naples '44. Don McCullin didn't travel with Norman Lewis to Brazil, but they struck up an unexpected friendship. He was like my father, the great photographer says. And in Norman Lewis's later years they worked together in Venezuela, Papua New Guinea and elsewhere. But McCullin didn't read many of his books. "I struggled through Naples '44" he admits. Yet his admiration for the way Lewis opened his eyes to the world remains undimmed. Recorded on location at McCullin's Somerset farmhouse with Norman Lewis's biographer Julian Evans. Matthew Parris presents. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.

Libby Purves meets photographer Don McCullin; Roman Catholic priest Father Ray Kelly; triathlete and coach Fiona Ford and actor Robert Portal. Fiona Ford is a triathlete and coach. In the same week in 2006 she won both World Championship titles at the International Triathlon Union (ITU) and Aquathlon events. Three years ago, while cycling along the London 2012 Olympic bike route, she was hit by a car and badly injured. Doctors told her she would never run again. But thanks to her grit and determination, she is back on her bike, competing in a triathlon. Back on Track by Fiona Ford is published by Meyer and Meyer Sport. Photographer Don McCullin's early association with a North London gang, The Guv'nors, led to the first publication of his pictures. He went on to cover many of the world's worst wars and humanitarian crises of his time from the civil war in the Congo to the Tet offensive at Hue during the Vietnam War. His photographs document the building of the Berlin Wall and the famine that ravaged Biafra in the 1960s. Unreasonable Behaviour: An Autobiography by Don McCullin with Lewis Chester is published by Jonathan Cape. Don McCullin Conflict - People - Landscape is at Hauser And Wirth, Somerset. Father Ray Kelly worked as a civil servant before becoming a Catholic priest 35 years ago. He'd always loved singing but it wasn't until 2014 when he sang Hallelujah while officiating at a wedding that he became an internet sensation. Since then he has signed a record deal and performed on TV shows around the world from the US to Germany and Australia. His second album, An Irish Christmas Blessing, is on Wrasse Records. Robert Portal is an actor who is playing Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days at St James Theatre.

What separates a snap shot from a fine art photograph which is worthy of hanging in a National Gallery? My guest on this episode of Photo Kibitz is Ann Thomas, Curator of Photography for the National Gallery of Canada. Ann and I chat about the National Gallery’s extensive world class collection of photographs, which starts practically from the beginning of photography and continues to grow with works from today.
