Don McCullin by Alfred Dunhill

Having a mind permanently scarred with dreadful images of man's inhumanity, I find it mentally uplifting that McCullin can find peace and quiet pleasure in photographing the landscape. His landscape photographs are sublimely beautiful.

Amazing! This came up as an advert, and it is the only one I've watched all the way through without skipping.

The best war photographers beat witness to that which we need to see and record. Especially as a cautionary tale for those politicians who get us into wars.

You know I used to keep thinking to myself 'God dammit YouTube with all your adverts - they clearly have no idea what things I like - clearly!'. Then it played this 'advert' and I'm so glad I didn't click that skip button now like I usually do. Such a touching piece - I never even realized YouTube videos had it in them to be this simple yet moving.

Yes... very insightful, Indeed. Don McCullin is one of my favorite social documentary photographs but in the end I will remember him as a “War Photographer” ! Thank you for this brilliant interview. S Arman S.

I love landscape photography.

Un grande de la fotografía, estos 3 minutos valen la pena 

Incredible thoughts by Don

this is the first time i've stopped to watch an advertisement through, and then followed the link. this man really has seen the world and been back in time for tea. interesting.

Same as others. This was an advert that came up and for the first time in years of using YouTube, i watched the entire clip! Very good.

You can hear him wrestling with doubt in everything says, a weird mixture of pride and disgust over his own legacy. Refreshing to hear someone in his position have absolutely no artistic pretense at all, totally unglamourous about his industry.

fascinating video. As an amateur photographer and someone venturing into documentary, with a focus on Africa and Middle East, I found his simple presentation about his career a learning experience.

This video is packed with some great insight & true wisdom. Would sit down & learn from this guy any day.

Amazing interview & straight to the point. Respect!

I am glad i found this channel! Thanks man!

a living legend.

I love Don McCullin and I feel sad because he is wrong.  When I meet the suffering, the dying victims they want the world to know who are the oppressors, who are the murders. They don´t want to be alone and nobody cares. If they must die they want the world to know who were the perpetrators. Don Mc Cullin was important for the victims. Sometimes he was the only witness. The problem does not begin when we take the photo. The problem begins when we come home with all the dramatic stories in our head and we feel that the people around us all have their own little problems and nobody is interested. We contact the editor and he is not interested, maybe two weeks before he has seen photos from another region of the world. Piles with more dead bodies than on our photo, he is not interested because there are beautiful photos with the prime ministers new girlfriend, our story does not harmonize with the newspapers advertising insert or the magazine is misusing our photo. They are printing our photo but they don´t want to hear the real story behind it and they don´t want to hear our witness statement. So the problem is not he photographer. Don Mc Cullin had done a great job. If there is a problem the problem is the publishing business machine. And we must try our best to change that unbearable situation. Sorry my bad english, it´s not my native tongue.

A human being..... Coming to terms some how, some way with the absolute horror, of what all humans are capable of doing. A human that has endured and may be more importantly... Survived. Still...... Human*. This individual who I will probably never meet face to face.... Commands my.... Attention.... and my..... Respect *

Totally Agree, came up as an Ad, watch the lot .. very unusual, fascinating

same here then I subscribed and now watching all his other videos!
