Kevin Carter (1960-1994)
A lot of people have possibly never heard of Kevin Carter, except maybe for the Manic Street Preacher's song.
He was a South African photojournalist during Apartheid, who along with other members of theBang Bang Club photographed for the first time some of the horrific events of this period of South Africa's history, including the first person to photograph a Necklacing.
It was during a trip to Sudan in 1993, he took his (and possibly one of the world's) most famous photographs.
For this picture Kevin won the famous Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography on 23rd May 2994, two months and four days later he killed himself.
Today mark's the 15th Anniversary of Kevin's death, in that time Apartheid has ended in South Africa, but everyday photojournalists risk their lives and to a degree their sanity to try and show the world what is really happening in some of these country's that some of us have probably never heard of.
