Abstract
Kevin Carter’s photograph of a starving child in Sudan, with a vulture lurking in the background, is one of the most iconic visual depictions of poverty ever made. Published in theNew York Timesin 1993, Carter received the Pulitzer Prize for this photo only months before he committed suicide at the age of 33. The image has become a ubiquitous signifier of famine, that has informed other portrayals of poverty ever since. This particular photo has become referential because certain images, whether stereotypical or unique, carry an ability to express emotions and knowledge
