Don McCullin (b.1935) grew up in Finsbury Park, London. He began taking photographs during his military service and brought his camera back with him to the UK, beginning what would be a life-long commitment to photography. In 1961 McCullin travelled to Berlin just as the wall was going up , and his resulting photographs earned him a contract with The Observer. He went on to work for major British newspapers during some of the most violent conflicts of the late twentieth-century including Vietnam, Biafra, Bangladesh, Lebanon, Northern Ireland and more recently Iraq and Syria. Whenever he returned home, McCullin would turn his lens on still-life and landscape as akind of therapy and solace. His landscapes have been the subject of solo exhibitions at international galleries, Hauser& Wirth and Hamiltons Gallery, and are held in the collection of V&A, Tate, London where McCullin enjoyed a major retrospective in 2019
