Steve McCurry launched his career as a photojournalist when, disguised in native garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into Afghanistan, just before the Russian invasion in 1979. His coverage won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad. He is a member of Magnum Photos and has worked for many prestigious magazines, amongst them National Geographic.
Mr. McCurry is best known for his photograph "Afghan Girl". The image was named as the most recognized photograph in the history of National Geographic magazine. The identity of the Afghan Girl remained unknown for over 15 years until Steve McCurry and a National Geographic television crew returned to the region and found the woman, whom they discovered is called Sharbat Gula.
