McCullin has often taken more of an interest in the victims of conflict than the perpetrators. This is evident in his coverage of the Biafran war in the late 1960s. In three years of war, more than one million people died. On assignment for The Sunday Times Magazine, he photographed a camp of nine-hundred starving, war orphaned, dying children to present to the world the results of man’s inhumanity to man. His well-known image of a severely emaciated child, clutching an empty corned beef tin conveys the child’s sense of alienation, as he was ostracised by his peers due to his albinism.
