William Eugene Smith

William Eugene Smith was an American photojournalist and known for his World War || photos, his work was greatly admired by McCuillin, so much so that it could be said   that McCuillin carried through Smith’s powerful sense of ‘darkness’ into his own images.

Here are two of my favourite photos by him. In both these images a human is hurt, the first one is a soldier wounded with the help from another soldier. The bottom photo is a baby found left lying struggling to survive whilst the soldier holds and prays for it.
