Moving, I think that's the word I want to use to describe Sir Don McCullin's images, whether of the chaos of war, or the stillness of nature they are just moving. The mark of a truly great photographer, you can't look away.
Just extraordinarily beautiful and moving images, just finishing his autobiography and amazed and delighted to see him still at it and looking so together
@@nickfanzo Probably borderline. Depends on whether you dress like someone out of Peaky Blinders, wear shoes without socks and started with digital but then moved to film because you think it looks cooler 😅
WoW !! Sir DON ! I must get out with MY Mamiya Press Super 23 camera similar to yours when i can on one of my 'LockDown' Walks on land at back of the Brentwood BT Building where i do 'Landscape Photography' -- maybe one day YOU could come to BRENTWOOD here in darkest ESSEX and go out with me ( Socially DISTANCED ! ) Ha Ha !
Not having people spend only half a second on your picture is a luxury nowadays. Picture galleries are ignored by the vast majority of people, magazines have disappeared. Social media and 'likes' rule. Sorry to say.
Wim Wenders, too, now regards photography as a thing of the past. “It’s not just the meaning of the image that has changed - the act of looking does not have the same meaning. Now, it’s about showing, sending and maybe remembering. It is no longer essentially about the image. The image for me was always linked to the idea of uniqueness, to a frame and to composition. You produced something that was, in itself, a singular moment. As such, it had a certain sacredness. That whole notion is gone.”
It took YT a year, but here it is. Quality. Sanity. Beauty and truth. Rare, rare commodities. I read somewhere once, from a photographer that I admired back in the early eighties, that the 50mm equates most closely to how we see with a our natural gaze, and pretty much stuck with my 50mm on Nikons. It taught me to get close in, or choose my shot very very carefully. In those days I'd travel around the world cheaply (twice), and shoot maybe 1 roll of Kodachrome or Fujichrome a month, 8 roll trips, living dirt cheap. Working here and there. ONE ROLL A MONTH! I worked as a press photographer for a while, and knew my way around the darkroom, knew my papers, my film speeds. Haven't processed a print since 1983. But I will say, I get huge pleasure looking at my old work - and the limited number of photos only adds to that. Volume makes cheap.
Don Mcullin has been my inspiration to use a camera for the last forty plus years. A wonderful man who I would love to meet and talk to for hours..
I like black and white photography because there's a mood that colour simply can't give you - Don McCullin.
He is a true legend❤
My Hero
Of all the men, the bravest is the one who passes the history to a living man's ears.
Absolutely fantastic quote: “I want to disturb people but I want to please them at the same time me.”
Wow what an incredible video. I would love to spend a day with that gentleman

I love the way he still uses old film cameras. There is a gritty quality to his black and white images that you don't get with digital.
Film rules, screw digital
He doesn't, he's embraced digital - ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=don+mucullin+digital 😂

A legend
Of all the people who receive knighthoods, this man is one of the very few who actually deserve it.
Agree. So few deserve it, but this man is just incredible really and so humble.
I’m pretty sure he is a Sir
100% correct-he is a genius.
The best
Music is Don't go by Chris Coleman
Loved it
I feel you
Great master, great landscapes. I wanted to shoot my video about album "The Landscape", but I didn't get permission. Good to have such great videos
He did the photos on the film Blow up and the 1968 Beatles photos with a crowd in a London park. Amazing.
