About Shaped By War - photographs inspired by Don McCullin

'I like my landscape photographs to have the most perfect composition, because I want them to be kind on the eye...You're not going to love one of my war photographs, because they were never made for that reason. But my landscapes are for you to enjoy.'
Don McCullin

In conjunction with the Shaped By War: Photographs by Don McCullin exhibition at Imperial War Museum North, we'd like you to submit your landscape photographs that you think Don might enjoy.

Our favourites will be shown on the IWM website and the overall best entry, as judged by exhibition curator Hilary Roberts, will receive a copy of Don's latest book Don McCullin: Shaped By War.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Imperial War Museum North presents the largest ever UK exhibition about the life and work of Don McCullin, one of the world’s most acclaimed photographers, to mark his 75th year. Many items are on public display for the very first time.

For more than 50 years, McCullin’s images have shaped our awareness of modern conflict and its consequences. His courage and integrity, as well as the exceptional quality of his work, are a continuing inspiration and influence worldwide.

A unique collaboration between McCullin and the Imperial War Museum, this major new exhibition contains over 200 photographs, objects, magazines and personal memorabilia, and shows how war has shaped the life of this exceptional British photographer and those across the globe over the last half-century.
