Steve McCurry is an American photographer that has worked in photojournalism and editorial. He is best known for his 1984 photograph "Afghan Girl" which originally appeared in National Geographic magazine.
McCurry focused on the human consequences of war, intending to not only show what war impresses on the landscape, but rather, on the human face. “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.”
