Steve McCurry, recognized universally as one of today’s finest image-makers, had won many of photography’s top awards. Best known for his evocative color photgraphy, McMurry, in the finest documentary tradition, captures the essence of human struggle and joy. Member of Magnum Photos since 1986, McCurry has searched and found the unforgettable; many of his images have become modern icons. Born in Philadelphia, McCurry graduated cum laude from the College of Arts and Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University. After working at a newspaper for two years, he left for India to freelance. It was in India that McCurry learned to watch and wait on live. “if you wait,” he realized, ” people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view.”
