An artist I have looked at is Don McCullin. He has done various work including narrative imagery. In this particular image (below titled Mother and Son) taken in Bradford, England 1978, the woman came up to him (Don) in the street and asked him straight away if he was working for the press because she could see his camera with him to which he replied that he was. She said to him "Right, get in this house". She showed him the state that her house was in and in this image you can see her stood in her kitchen with her son. She told him about the 'long tails' that were there also and when he asked her what she meant she replied with 'rats'. I think this image is powerful and tells the story of poverty very well through this single image.
