Photographers don’t come much more iconic than Steve McCurry – the Magnum Photos member creator of several of the most seminal images of our time – with many gracing the covers of National Geographic, TIME, and Vogue Magazines. Across several decades and countless countries, he has captured ancient traditions and contemporary culture, always with rich humanity and powerful simplicity.
