Point & Shoot

January 11, 2016

“When I started freelancing in 1978, I went to India with a one-way ticket, a few thousand dollars and two suitcases. One suitcase was full of clothes and the other suitcase was full of 250 rolls of Kodachrome.” With fabulously rich colour, and such captivating gazes, it would be hard to choose just one favourite Steve McCurry portrait. The American photographer, best known for his “Afghan Girl” image for the cover of National Geographic in the mid 80s, has been travelling, and photographing the world for decades. But it was in India (he ended up staying for two-years) where McCurry honed his skill. “If you wait,” he realized, “people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view.”
