About this title

About the Author:

Steve McCurry (b.1950) launched his career as a photojournalist when, diguised in native garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into Afghanistan before the Russian invasion. His coverage won him the Capa Gold Medal given to photographers exhibiting exceptional courage and enterprise. Famous also for his work in Southeast Asia, his photographs are beautiful, uplifting and powerful. McCurry has worked for National Geographic magazine for many years and is a member of the prestigious Magnum agency.

Review:

'A sublime collection of photographs ... the colours - superbly rendered in this high-quality book - are some of the most exquisite that you are likely to see in a photograph.' (Sunday Telegraph) 'This collection paints a vivd picture of the region and confirms McCurry as one of the greatest exponents of colour photography in the world today.' (Amateur Photography) 'A celebration of the poetry of photography, of colour, form, chaos and human drama.' (Traveller)
