Born in Philadelphia, Steve McCurry studied history and cinematography at Pennsylvania State University. He worked at a newspaper for two years before leaving for India to freelance as a photographer. It was in India that McCurry learned to watch and wait on life. McCurry’s career was launched when he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled Afghanistan just before the Russian invasion. When he emerged, he had rolls of film sewn into his clothes; images that would be published around the world as some of the first to show that conflict. For more than 20 years he has covered areas of international and civil conflict, including the Iran-Iraq war, the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia, Beirut, Cambodia, Yemen, the Philippines and the Gulf War. He continues to cover Afghanistan, focusing on the human consequences of conflict and war. Steve McCurry became a full member of the prestigious Magnum Photo Agency in 1986.
