Portraits
内容简介
Magnum photographer Steve McCurry never set out to take portraits. Critically acclaimed and recognized internationally for his classic reportage, over the last 20 years he has worked for the "National Geographic" and other publications on numerous assignments: along the Afghan border, in Baghdad, Beirut and the Sahel. McCurry's coverage of the monsoon won first prize in the World Press Awards, and was part of his portfolio when he was named Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1984. In 1985, McCurry photographed an Afghan girl for the "National Geographic". The intensity of the subject's eyes and her compelling gaze made this one of contemporary photography's most celebrated and best-known portraits. McCurry is now equally famous for his other portrayals of memorable faces that he has encountered while travelling throughout the world. Compelling, unforgettable and moving, McCurry's images are unique street portraits: unstylized and unposed snapshots of people that reveal the universality of human emotion.

史提夫麥凱瑞在1978年正式展開自由攝影生涯，首先前往的地點便是戰事爆發前的阿富汗，憑著過人的勇氣拍攝了許多珍貴照片；戰事爆發之後他的獨家照片受到國際媒體爭相採用，更贏得了象徵勇氣過人、富有冒險精神的Robert Capa金牌獎。足跡遍及阿富汗、巴基斯坦、兩伊戰爭、波灣戰爭、柬埔寨、菲律賓、葉門、印度、西藏....等，史提夫麥凱瑞的作品強調對生活在戰火之下的人們的刻畫。亞洲文化的豐富性，深深吸引著史提夫麥凱瑞，其中以印度最使他流連忘返。
史提夫麥凱瑞得過許多大獎，尤其是在1984年時，國家攝影記者協會頒贈他“年度最佳雜誌攝影師”，同年，他更史無前例在「世界新聞攝影比賽」奪下四項首獎。
近年，《生活》雜誌頒給他1998年的「世界攝影獎」，同時在《國家地理雜誌》中關於印度和巴基斯坦獨立五十週年的報導也進入艾森史戴特大獎的決賽，以及「南亞新聞大獎」的表揚。還有兩度榮獲奧立佛瑞伯紀念獎章，及多次奪得「世界新聞比賽」獎項和「年度最佳攝影」。
自1986年起，他就是馬格蘭的會員。
史提夫說“我認為在我25年的攝影生涯裡，最吸引我的地方是印度。印度因為擁有多種宗教信仰，使文化顯得多樣。”
“我想要人們從我的照片中體會人際之間的連結，無論是住在印度、非洲或拉丁美洲，你我之間總有共同之處......”
