2026 Coupon Code — Up to 20% OFF for Steve McCurry

For more than five decades, Steve McCurry has been one of contemporary photography's most recognizable figures. McCurry, who was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, went to Pennsylvania State University to study cinematography. After that, he worked for a newspaper. After two years, Steve McCurry went to India for the first time, the first of many. He traversed the subcontinent carrying nothing more than a bag containing film and clothes, and he documented his journey with his camera. He entered Pakistan when he crossed the border after traveling for several months. He met a group of Afghan refugees in a small village and was smuggled across the border into their country at a time when Western journalists were being shut out by the Russian invasion. After spending months with the Mujahideen, McCurry emerged in traditional attire, complete with a beard and weather-worn features, and crossed the Pakistani border with his film sewn into his clothes.
