With an illustrious career that spans over 40 years, Steve McCurry is renowned for his award-winning evocative images. The American photographer shares his travel plans and projects with Eve Tedja.
Steve McCurry’s fame skyrocketed when, disguised in Afghani attire, he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled Afghanistan, right before the beginning of Russian Invasion in 1979 and captured one of the most heartbreaking images from the war-torn country. One of those iconic images was the Afghan Girl, a piercing photograph of a girl whose searing green eyes garnered the attention of the world.
Since then, the Philadelphia-born photographer has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Robert Capa Gold Medal and the World Press Photo Contest, and gotten his works published and exhibited around the world. McCurry continues to amass captivating images of vanishing cultures, powerful animals and forgotten rituals through a vibrant and humane lens, including those he took on his recent travels with Silversea Cruises. The small luxury ships sail to over 1,000 fascinating destinations in the spirit of discovery.
