"Magnum Print Room is proud to annouce the first commercial exhibition of Steve McCurry's work to be shown in the UK. McCurry, best known for his iconic image of the Afghan girl with the piercing green eyes, recently published the book 'In The Shadow Of The Mountains' (Phaidon, 2007) where a large majority of portrait and landscape images in the exhibition have been sourced.This exhibition features a large selection of images from Afghanistan, a country which has always held a fascination for McCurry and is where he first established his photographic career. He has since returned many times and always favours longer term projects where he can engage with his subject matter. McCurry has a distinctive visual language; his photographs are contemplative and his style is based on strong compositions, direct portraiture and jewel-like colours. He is able to find beauty within the rubble of a Kabul landscape and expresses a celebration of racial diversity through his acclaimed portraiture."
