Pulitzer photography exhibition

You are talking about kevin carter, a South African freelance photographer. 1994 won the Pulitzer Prize for story photography. A dying little girl is crawling on the ground, and there seems to be a vulture waiting for her death not far behind her.

In war-torn South Africa, Carter found a naked thin girl in a village full of victims' bodies. At that time, the girl was struggling to climb out of the bushes. At this time, a vulture fell behind the hungry girl and widened its eyes. Carter captured this thrilling moment in time, and then he drove away the vulture and picked up the girl.

It was this Hungry Girl that appeared in Time magazine and won the Pulitzer Prize for photojournalism.

The evaluation of the jury of Pulitzer Prize for Photojournalism is that it shows the subversion of human nature in a remarkable way and reveals the despair of the whole African continent.

But he soon created trouble for himself. In an interview with reporters, he said that he waited for 20 minutes at the scene, hoping that the vultures could spread their wings. If such a scene appears, the photo will have a stronger visual impact. His sincere confession was immediately criticized by some people morally, because when a girl would starve to death at any time, she didn't go to save people first, but wanted to make it more visual. Where will this put people's lives? It should be said that this is a difficult problem to explain clearly. Carter can also defend himself, saying that if the visual effect of photographic photos is better, more people, including South Africans themselves, will pay more attention to human life, thus ending civil strife. That is to say, if children really starve to death, photos will prompt human society to reflect, improve the situation of this hungry continent, and even quote some classical theorists: the overall interests of human beings are higher than individual lives, or collective interests are higher than individual interests, so it is worthwhile to sacrifice individuals for human beings or collectives. However, in a western society that values the individual above all else, his defense is obviously untenable, so Carter finally collapsed and committed suicide. Before committing suicide, he dreamed of the vulture in the photo and saw it spread its wings to himself. It can be said that Carter died of conscience.
