- Photographer to know: Steve McCurry – His iconic “Afghan Girl” portrait is a masterclass in composition.
The Photograph:
Steve McCurry's iconic "Afghan Girl" photograph, featuring Sharbat Gula, is a powerful image that became a symbol of the plight of Afghan refugees during the Soviet-Afghan War. The portrait, taken in 1984 at a refugee camp in Pakistan, gained global recognition when it was featured on the cover of National Geographic in 1985.
The image, taken with Kodachrome 64 color-slide film, showcases a young Sharbat Gula, an Afghan refugee in Pakistan, with piercing green eyes that convey both vulnerability and resilience.
