This image taken by photojournalist Don Mccullin , is very distressing. The main focus of the image is a young boy clutching s small tin, could be food? and wearing cloths that don't fit and are torn to shreds. The surroundings look dirty and the other children around him also looked servilely malnourished. The boy lived in Biafra , south east of Nigeria. this Part of the world is well know for being a third world country and has struggles with famin and povity. Mccullin didn't stage this shot I don't think , he trys to show the truth through his imagery, and this is a positive purpose even if the images are slightly controversial. This image relates really well to the people I am trying to depict in my picture book, I can get a lot of information from this , for example body shapes, the sadness and how they appear.
