What can I say about Don McCullin's work? The guy should be dead based on the places he shot and the risks he took. His work is filled with so much human emotion and he tries not to beautify it. I love Sebastiao Salgado's photographs but sometime I think the beautiful lighting, composition etc take away from some of the raw power of the works. McCullin is like a sledgehammer he bashes you into submission, he hits you with raw power, his human beings cry out and yell for attention, he tells his stories without romanticizing anything, he says to the viewer, BANG/SLAP- FEEL WHAT THEY FELT, that is McCullin.
