Famous photographs of Sir Don McCullin and James Nachtwey will be gathered together at a unique event held within the framework of the 9th International Photo Festival "Exposure" in Sharjah, UAE from February 20 to 26. The series of events will serve as a platform for an exclusive meeting of two world-renowned photographers: Sir Don McCullin, one of the key figures in documentary photography, and James Nachtwey, a multi-awarded winner of the "Golden Camera" prize from the Robert Capa award.
During the event, they will share their profound experience of capturing significant world events. The leading theme of the talk will be the power of images in revealing truths and preserving human memory. The meeting is titled "Witnessing Through the Darkness of History".
Throughout the dialogue, the photographers will discuss their professional paths, share thoughts about photographs that shook human consciousness, and address the ethics of photography in the context of war and human suffering. With the help of personal stories and in-depth views of the photographic process, they will show how their creativity has influenced global humanitarian efforts and aid programs.
