Kevin Carter. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Kevin Carter (13 septembre 1960 à Johannesburg – 27 juillet 1994 à Johannesburg), est un reporter photo sud-africain, notamment célèbre pour la photo « la fillette et le vautour », montrant un enfant soudanais affamé observé par un vautour, pour laquelle il obtient le prix Pulitzer en 1994. Il fut accusé à tort d'avoir abandonné cette fillette face au vautour qui n'attendait qu'une chose, la dévorer.
Il reçoit le prix de la meilleure photo. Peu de temps après, déprimé, Kevin Carter met fin à ses jours. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Certains des clichés de Carter feront le tour du monde, notamment la célèbre image du vautour et de la fillette prise au Soudan en 1993, qui lui vaudra le prix Pulitzer, ainsi que des controverses très virulentes sur les conditions dans lesquelles ont été prises les photos[1].

The image presaged no celebration: a child barely alive, a vulture so eager for carrion. Yet the photograph that epitomized Sudan's famine would win Kevin Carter fame - and hopes for anchoring a career spent hounding the news, free-lancing in war zones, waiting anxiously for assignments amid dire finances, staying in the line of fire for that one great picture.
On May 23, 14 months after capturing that memorable scene, Carter walked up to the dais in the classical rotunda of Columbia University's Low Memorial Library and received the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography. The South African soaked up the attention. "I swear I got the most applause of anybody," Carter wrote back to his parents in Johannesburg. Carter was feted at some of the most fashionable spots in New York City.
There would be little time for that. How could a man who had moved so many people with his work end up a suicide so soon after his great triumph? First, there was history. The troubles started on March 11. Kevin Carter photos. Kevin Carter - Photos.
