There is also a 16 and under category so please also encourage all the young photographers you know.

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.

A major new book published by Jonathan Cape: Don McCullin: Shaped by War accompanies the exhibition.

24 February to 27 March 2010 in the Mezzanine Gallery at the Royal Exchange Theatre, St. Ann’s Square, Manchester, M2 7DH. There’s a preview on Friday 26 February from 5:30 to 6:30pm

It’s showing alongside a new stage production of George Orwell’s 1984.

There’s a web site to go with the exhibition www.ddcc.tv

The Roadshow is all about David Noton sharing from his extensive experience how a landscape and travel photographer uses their eyes. It includes landscape, portraiture, street scenes and satellite imagery from around the world as well as in the field advice and photography tips. He shares the highs and lows of being in the field and ‘explores’ pushing the boundaries to encourage experimentation with our own photography. The show has evolved from a photographer standing by a projector into a full audio/visual experience with high definition projection, music, video clips, practical technical backgrounds and humourous travel anecdotes.

Tickets for the roadshow can be purchased from
