Mckunin once said: If I don't take pictures, I can only become a lost soul. Photos make me realize that I am a person. His works attracted the attention of contemporary art critics, such as John Berg and susan sontag. Mckunin was born in 1935. His battlefield career was as long as 18 years, and he missed death many times. He was even put into the death penalty prison in Amin, Uganda, and Nikon camera saved his life. After all this, it is a legend to get away from the battlefield. The photos he took almost covered the major battles in the second half of the 20th century, many of which have become symbols of the times. In his later years, he settled in the English countryside to take photos of the scenery and devoted himself to calling for peace. Mccullin grew up in the worst security place in London, with a poor family and a beloved father who died young; He is active by nature and even suffers from dyslexia. He took photos by instinct. All these make his works have a sense of religious solemnity and the most sincere empathy. His photos are included in the collections of major art galleries around the world. He won many honors and awards, including the Best Medal of the British Empire (the first photographer to win this medal). He is the author of Destroyed Career, Homecoming, Palestinians (co-authored with Ding Bobai), Black Heart, Open Sky, Sleeping with Ghosts, India, don mccullin and Don McCullin of Africa.
