Steve McCurry is most well-known for his photo of the Afghan woman on the cover of the 1985 issue of National Geographic magazine. His use of light makes the colors in this portrait "pop." I love how he takes something tha tis an every day part of life for this woman and makes it beautiful. In his bio on www.art-dept.com/artists/mccurry it says that eh "captures the essence of human struggle and joy." It also states, "McCurry has searched and found the unforgettable." His story really shows the extremes a photographer must sometimes go through to get that one "unforgettalbe" image, and he proves that hard work and true dedication can take you to unbelieveable worlds through a lens.
