If you're thinking of becoming a reportage/documentary wedding photographer the first thing you must learn is you must drop the names of Henri Cartier Bresson and Don McCullin at every opportunity. These names are photographic viagra amongst self-styled (so called) wedding photojournalists.
The Imperial War Museum North is marking Don's 75th year with the largest ever UK exhibition of the great man's work. The exhibition contains over 200 photographs, objects, magazines and personal memorabilia, and shows how war has shaped the life of this exceptional British photographer. Here's a link to the exhibition link
The exhibition starts on February 6th 2010 and if you can't wait until Saturday here's a link to an on line slideshow of his images on the BBC website link to slideshow
Personally I dislike name droppers and name dropping... in fact I was saying this to Don McCullin only the other day.
