He won a scholarship to Hammersmith School of Arts and Crafts but, following the death of his father, he left school at the age of 15, without qualifications, for a catering job on the railways. He was then called up for National Service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1953.

During his National Service, McCullin was posted to the Suez Canal during the 1956 Suez Crisis, and served as a photographer's assistant. He failed the written theory paper to become a photographer in the RAF and spent his service in the darkroom.{{cite news |last=Benedictus |first=Leo |date=29 March 2007 |title=Don McCullin's best shot |url=https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2007/mar/29/features11.g2 |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=6 July 2020}}{{cite news |last=Edemariam |first=Aida |date=6 August 2005 |title=The human factor |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2005/aug/06/photography.art |newspaper=The Observer |access-date=6 July 2020}} During this period McCullin bought his first camera, a Rolleicord, for £30 when stationed in Nairobi.{{cite web|url=https://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/technique/interviews/don-mccullin-life-black-white-79500|title=Don McCullin interview: life in black & white|publisher=Amateur Photographer|access-date=2 September 2018}} On return to Britain, shortage of funds led to his pawning the camera and his mother used her money to redeem the pledge.{{cite book | last = McCullin | first = Donald |author2=Lewis Chester | title = Unreasonable Behaviour, An Autobiography | publisher=Vintage Books | year=2002 | isbn = 978-0-09-943776-5 | pages = 28–29}}

In 1958 he took a photograph of a local London gang posing in a bombed-out building. He was persuaded by his colleagues to take his photograph of The Guvnors, as the gang was known, to The Observer, which published it, setting him on his path as a photographer.{{Cite book| title = The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography | first = Michael R. | last = Peres | first2 = Mark | last2 = Osterman | first3 = Grant B. | last3 = Romer | first4 = J. Tomas | last4 = Lopez | publisher = Focal Press | year = 2008| isbn = 978-0-240-80998-4}} Between 1966 and 1984, he worked as an overseas correspondent for the Sunday Times Magazine, recording ecological and man-made catastrophes such as wars, amongst them Biafra in 1968, and victims of the African AIDS epidemic. His hard-hitting coverage of the Vietnam War and the Northern Ireland conflict is held in particularly high regard.

He also took the photographs of Maryon Park in London used in Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blowup,Philippe Garner, David Alan Miller, Blow Up (Steidl, 2011). In 1968 his Nikon F camera stopped a bullet intended for him.{{cite book | last = McCullin | first = Donald |author2=Lewis Chester | title = Unreasonable Behaviour, An Autobiography | publisher = Vintage Books | year = 2002 | isbn = 978-0-09-943776-5 | pages= 137–138}} Also in 1968, on 28 July, he was invited to photograph the Beatles, then at the height of their fame and in the midst of recording The White Album. These sessions, made at several London locations, have become known as The Mad Day Out. They contain many well-known images of the band, including the gatefold sleeve picture from the Red and Blue compilations where the Beatles mingled with the crowd seen through railings of a cemetery. The photographs from this day were published in the 2010 book A Day in the Life of the Beatles.

A documentary about McCullin entitled Just One More War, directed by Jana Boková, with ATV as the production company, aired on the ITV network in 1977.{{cite news |url=https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060010182|title=Just One More War | publisher=Imperial War Museums | access-date=24 November 2020}}

He is the author of a number of books, including The Palestinians (with Jonathan Dimbleby, 1980), Beirut: A City in Crisis (1983) and Don McCullin in Africa (2005). His book, Shaped by War (2010) was published to accompany a retrospective exhibition at the Imperial War Museum North, Salford, England in 2010 and then at the Victoria Art Gallery, Bath and the Imperial War Museum, London. His most recent publication is Southern Frontiers: A Journey Across the Roman Empire, a poetic and contemplative study of selected Roman and pre-Roman ruins in North Africa and the Middle East.

In 2012, a documentary film of his life, McCullin, directed by David Morris and Jacqui Morris, was released. It was nominated for two BAFTA awards.{{cite web|url=http://awards.bafta.org/award/2013/film|title=Film in 2013|publisher=BAFTA|access-date=2 September 2018}} In later years, McCullin has turned to landscape, still-life works and commissioned portraits. In November 2015 McCullin was named Photo London Master of Photography for 2016.{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/12021925/Don-McCullin-Digital-photography-can-be-a-totally-lying-experience.html|title=Don McCullin: 'Digital photography can be a totally lying experience'|first=Hannah|last=Furness|date=27 November 2015|via=www.telegraph.co.uk}}

Filmed in February 2018 and broadcast in May, the BBC Four documentary The Road To Palmyra{{cite magazine|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-05-07/don-mccullin-war-photographer-syria-bbc4-the-road-to-palmyra/|title="When I think of IS, I detest them beyond imagination": war photographer Don McCullin heads to Syria for new BBC4 documentary|magazine=Radio Times|access-date=16 December 2018}} saw McCullin visit Syria with historian Dan Cruickshank to see the devastation left by the conflict on the UNESCO listed site of Palmyra. Discussing his trip with the Radio Times he spoke of his approach to entering war zones: "I have risked my life endless times, and ended up in hospital with all kinds of burns and shell wounds. I have those reptile eyes that see behind and in front of me. I'm constantly trying to stay alive. I'm aware of warfare, of hidden mines."

Despite his reputation as a war photographer, McCullin has said that Alfred Stieglitz was a key influence on his work.

Living in Somerset, he is married and has five children from his marriages.

In November 2020, it was announced Angelina Jolie would be directing a biopic about McCullin, with Tom Hardy in the starring role. It is being adapted from McCullin's biography Unreasonable Behaviour by Gregory Burke.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/nov/19/angelina-jolie-to-direct-biopic-photographer-don-mccullin-starring-tom-hardy/|title=Angelina Jolie to direct biopic of photographer Don McCullin starring Tom Hardy | publisher=The Guardian. 19 November 2020 | access-date=22 November 2020}}
