The Power of a Single Image: A Journey Through the Lens of Steve McCurry
Wex met up with world-renowned photographer Steve McCurry in Pennsylvania to talk about his incredible adventures and the lifetime of work he has created. McCurry talks to us about whether an image can truly change the world. His iconic imagery has been seen all over the globe. Spanning across conflict, ancient traditions and culture, his work always retains a human element.
Steve McCurry. A name synonymous with captivating photography, raw emotion, and stories whispered through the lens. But the journey of this iconic photographer wasn't always paved with international acclaim. It began, as many journeys do, with a spark of inspiration.(*)
"What is important to my work is the individual picture. I photograph stories on assignment, and of course, they have to be put together coherently. But what matters most is that each picture stands on its own, with its own place and feeling." - said Steve McCurry -
A Life Awakened by Photography
McCurry's story starts nestled within the pages of Life Magazine. Browsing his grandmother's house, he stumbled upon an essay by New Zealand photographer Brian Brake. This encounter proved pivotal, igniting a passion for travel, new cultures, and capturing the essence of life through photography.
