Don McCullin
PhotographerKnown for: conflict photography across five decades
Don McCullin has spent more than six decades documenting conflict and poverty, from the Vietnam War and the Troubles in Northern Ireland to famines in Biafra and Ethiopia. He spent most of his career as a staff photographer for The Sunday Times Magazine, where he helped establish photojournalism as a form of serious journalism in Britain. The government denied him accreditation to cover the Falklands War in 1982; McCullin believed the decision was politically motivated.

Nikon
Introduced in 1959, the Nikon F was Japan's first professional 35mm SLR. Its rugged construction, interchangeable viewfinders, and the F-mount lens system made it the predominant camera in photojournalism and war photography through the 1970s.
“McCullin used the Nikon F for his Vietnam War and Northern Ireland work; documented in his autobiography "Unreasonable Behaviour" (1990).”
