Steve McCurry (P)

Just having a quick look at his website gives me the wow factor. The colour, energy and variety of his work is unrivaled. For me the work gives a human element and a sense of time and space. The portraits are so clear and the people in them stir your interest. Silent imagery yet alive as he brings different cultures together with the one thing we all have in common. Us -life-Human.

The below images fall into the eyes category as well as portrait

Theme - giving the subject a theme is something I've found works really well. It was while doing photography named Abandoned that I first came to realise this. My friends and family also felt happy to point out viewpoints and ideas of the things they seen as abandoned.

Here were some of them we took

Below McCurry titled some of his images from his travels as Sleep. They show different cultures and places and yet bring together the one subject that links them altogether. The images are beautiful, clear and silent. 

In real life McCurry wasn't afraid of conflicts, trauma and hardship 

when bigger image it really hits you on a different level.

I just love the nature of this work and the travelling he's done. A life lived.
