Kevin Carter was a South African photojournalist known for his haunting images of famine and suffering in Africa. His most famous photograph, taken in 1993, depicted a starving child in Sudan being watched by a vulture. This image won the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography but also sparked controversy regarding the ethics of photojournalism and the responsibilities of photographers. Carter struggled with the emotional weight of his work and the impact of his photographs. In 1994, he died by suicide, leaving behind a legacy that raised questions about the role of journalists in humanitarian crises and the psychological toll of witnessing human suffering, particularly in regions like Sudan.
