MCCULLIN SHOW

A major retrospective of pictures by Don McCullin

will go on show at Tate Liverpool next year.

The exhibition, called Don McCullin, was first

seen at Tate Britain in London earlier this year.

The Liverpool show, which runs from 5 June to

27 September 2020, will feature extra images

of Liverpool and the wider region that were not

shown at Tate Britain.

More than 250 pictures will be on display,

including images from Vietnam, Northern Ireland

and Syria, as well as London, the industrial north

and rural Somerset.

Don McCullin said: ‘I’m delighted to be showing

my work at Tate Liverpool and to have the

opportunity to return to the city, a place I love and

has played a major part in my life and career.’

HIGH CONTRAST

A prize of £5,000 is on offer to

the winner of the international

photography competition run by

Guernsey Photography Festival.

Judges include Fiona Rogers, chief

operating officer of Magnum Photos.

The winning pictures will be exhibited

at next year’s festival, which runs

from 24 September to 24 October.

Deadline for entries: 31 December.

Brand ambassadors and photography

experts from the big photography

companies will be giving talks at

the CameraWorld event at 155

Bishopsgate in London on 26 October.

Visitors can also enjoy workshops,

try the latest photography gear and

take advantage of special deals.
