![]() ![]() ![]() McCurry has been a contributor to Magnum since 1986. From the point of view of a photographer, the books are the most important aspect of what I do, says McCurry. His next work, Steve McCurry: The Iconic Photographs is forthcoming in November from Phaidon. McCurry has been recognized with some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal, National Press Photographers Award, and an unprecedented four first prize awards from the World Press Photo contest. McCurry has published several volumes of his own work, including The Unguarded Moment and In the Shadow of Mountains. He has published many books and retrospectives, including Monsoon (1988), The Path to Buddha (2003), Portraits (1999), On Reading (2016) and most recently, Steve McCurry: A Life in Pictures (2018). Despite his prolific output his pictures always retain the human element that made his celebrated image of the Afghan Girl so powerful. ![]() Since then, McCurry has gone on to create evocative images in over six continents and countless countries, with scores of magazine and book covers, as well as solo global exhibitions. Emerging in traditional dress, with a 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. There, he met a group of refugees from Afghanistan, who smuggled him across the border into their country, just as the Russian Invasion was closing the country to all western journalists. Steve McCurry never set out to take portraits. It was after several months of travel that he found himself crossing the border into Pakistan.
