Kevin Carter was a South African photojournalist and member of the ‚’Bang-Bang Club’, a group of photographers who documented township violence during apartheid’s final years. Alongside Greg Marinovich, Jo√£o Silva, and Ken Oosterbroek, Carter worked in extreme danger, capturing images of conflict, brutality, and political unrest. He won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for his photograph of a starving Sudanese child watched by a vulture, an image that brought global attention but also intense criticism. Haunted by trauma, guilt, and the loss of his friend Ken Oosterbroek (who was killed whilst on a photography mission alongside Greg Marinovich (who survived despite being shot himself)), Carter died by suicide later that year, aged 33.
