Yesterday my housemate sent me a stumble upon link for Steve McCurry's website. I think he sent it to me because he recognised one of his photo's from the cover of at Nat Geo book I've got. I'm not really sure why I've never searched him before because I found his photograph (from the front of my book) of the female refugee on the Afganistan/ Pakistan boarder really compelling and extremely empathetic. He's an excellent photographer all round but I find his portrait work the most interesting. He says 'Most of my pictures are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experiance etched on a person's face. I try to covey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape that I guess you'd call the human condition.'
