This portrait of a young Afghan girl by Steve McCurry has always had a hold over me. The power and intensity of the young girl’s gaze makes this one of the most captivating human images around.
With a career that began covering the Soviet War in Afghanistan, and that would eventually span conflict zones throughout the world; the Iran-Iraq War, Beirut, Cambodia and the Philippines, Steve McCurry has produced some of the most striking portraits of modern times.
What an incredible photograph! so much power! i love it.
