Portraits

Steve McCurry never set out to take portraits. Critically acclaimed and recognized internationally for his classic reportage, over the last twenty years he has worked for the National Geographic and other publications on numerous assignments, travelling extensively throughout the Middle and Far East. McCurry's coverage of the monsoon won first prize in the World Press Awards, and was part of his portfolio when he was named Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1984. He joined Magnum photo agency in 1990.
