A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

The largest collection of Steve McCurry’s images in one single volume and the final word on forty years of McCurry’s incredible work. Written and compiled by Bonnie McCurry, Steve’s sister and President of the McCurry Foundation, who has supported his image-taking from the start, Steve McCurry: A Life in Pictures is the ultimate book of McCurry’s images and his approach to photography. The book brings together all of McCurry’s key adventures, from his very first journalistic images taken in the aftermath of the 1977 Johnstown floods, to his first breakthrough journey into Afghanistan hidden among the Mujahideen, his many travels across India and Pakistan, his coverage of the destruction of the 1991 Gulf War and the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York, up to his most-recent work. Totalling over 300 images, the selection of photographs includes his best-known shots as well as many previously unpublished images. Also included are personal notes, telegrams and visual ephemera from his travels and assignments, all accompanied by Bonnie McCurry’s authoritative text – drawn from her unique relationship with Steve – as well as reflections from many of Steve’s friends and colleagues. Steve McCurry: A Life in Pictures is the complete, definitive volume on McCurry.

Revue de presse :

"It is frank as well as fond, and its 350 or so images include about 100 that have never previously been published." ----Daily Telegraph

"Bonnie McCurry, the sister of the great photojournalist Steve, manages her brother's office. This large volume of pictures by and of McCurry at work, from Afghanistan to the US/Mexico border, ranges over 40 years and is a sort of love letter to an adored and, by her account, exasperating brother. Her commentary is loving, measured, honest and a refreshingly unpretentious accompaniment to McCurry's arresting, sometimes astonishing, occasionally gut-wrenching work." ----The Times

"Steve McCurry: A Life in Pictures by his sister Bonnie McCurry, includes many arresting pictures, from harrowing scenes in the burning oil fields of Kuwait to an extraordinary composition showing a red-robed woman making her way down a huge wall of stairs in Abhaneri, India. It also includes striking semiformal portraits of tribal commanders and combatants in Afghanistan, shots that would likely be more difficult to obtain today.The book is a complete biographical package, with numerous photos of McCurry at work and play and montages of documents" ----New York Times Book Review
