Steve McCurry by Anastazia Gilman
Steve McCurry is an American photojournalists who is best known for his piece "Afghan Girl" that was in the National Geographic. His career started when he snuck into Pakistan disguised in the native dress just before the Russian invasion. He left the country with the film sewed into his clothes. He says that he likes to take a picture of someone and their unguarded face. He wants to take a picture that will capture the soul of the person. That is what makes his pictures so captivating, the look in the person's eyes. His pictures have inspired me to try and draw something from a viewer when they see the art. It cant just be something that it interesting to look at but rather it needs to evoke a feeling.

I really admire how the eyes in the photographs seem to pop out at you.

The first thing I noticed about the pictures was the subjects' eyes, which really grab your attention. The idea of the artist sneaking into a country just to take pictures is really cool, as it shows just how dedicated he is to his art.
