Boys and missionaries in famine

Photographer: Mike Wells

Shooting year: 1980

Introduction: 1980 In April, photographer Mike Wells took this famous photo, which also appeared in one of our course textbooks, and I think everyone should be familiar with it. I remember the first time I looked at this picture, I didn't dare to look directly at it. I can't forget the feeling of worry. Photographer Mike Wells is very angry that the photo has not been made public after five months. A photo that could have attracted social attention earlier was submitted to the photo contest five months later. Mike Wells himself has never been to the competition site, and he refused to take photos of starving people to win the prize.
