  2. Steve McCurryApril 23, 1950 - “What is important to my work is the individual picture. I photograph stories on assignment, and of course they have to be put together coherently. But what matters most is that each picture stands on its own, with its own place and feeling.” Steve McCurry

  3. Emerging in traditional dress, with full beard and weather-worn features after weeks embedded with the Mujahideen, McCurry brought the world the first images of the conflict in Afghanistan, putting a human face to the issue on every masthead. Photo by Steve McCurry

  7. “Most of my images are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape, that you could call the human condition.” Steve McCurry Photo by Steve McCurry

  9. McCurry took his most recognized portrait, "Afghan Girl", in a refugee camp near Peshawar, Pakistan. The image itself was named as "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the National Geographic magazine and her face became famous as the cover photograph on the June 1985 issue. The photograph was shot in December 1984. Photo by Steve McCurry

  10. The identity of the "Afghan Girl" remained unknown for over 17 years until McCurry and a National Geographic team located the woman, SharbatGula, in 2002. She is 30 years old in this picture. “Her skin is weathered; there are wrinkles now, but she is as striking as she was all those years ago.” Steve McCurry Photo by Steve McCurry
