McCurry is best known for his photograph of the Afghan Girl, which was featured on the cover of National Geographic’s June 1985 issue. The iconic portrait forever linked McCurry’s name with the yellow-border magazine.

“No other image in my memory is so immediately recognizable and loved by such a large number of people across the globe,” Sarah Leen, National Geographic’s director of photography, “We are proud of that image and other iconic photographs that Steve created while on assignment for us.”

Steve McCurry, a founder of ImagineAsia.

ImagineAsia has established the Young Women’s Photography Initiative in many cities in Afghanistan.

The goal of the program is to give students the opportunity to document their communities by giving them the tools to create their own art. Through their cameras, students learn to see their communities in new ways. The students’ photos portray universal themes and reflect the resiliency of their culture, which gives them a powerful voice.

“What I will definitely remember from that workshop is the opportunity to learn a lot about how to get people look their best, whether this is a matter of light, whether this is a matter of the situation we put them in.

That is something I always enjoyed doing, but now I am sure I understand much better how to do it. If I had three words to describe this workshop to summarize it, that would be: learning, practising, and getting a lot of feedback to improve on what I love doing”.
