Photographers - Steve Mccurry

Steve McCurry (born April 23, 1950) is an American photographer who has worked in photojournalism and editorial. He is best known for his 1984 photograph "Afghan Girl", which originally appeared in National Geographic magazine. 

He uses a range of bright colours which has a relation to my final project, yet he uses it in a realistic style compared
to my concept where I look at unnatural colour and changing perspective. 

McCurry took his most recognised portrait, "Afghan Girl", in December 1984 of an approximately 12-year-old Pashtun orphan in the Nasir Bagh refugee camp near Peshawar, Pakistan.The image itself was named as "the most recognised photograph" in the history of the National Geographic magazine, and her face became famous as the cover photograph on the June 1985 issue.
