Reflection:
Steve Mccurry has a style of his own and he likes to take photos of humans in their natural state showing how each and every living conditions are different, focusing on their faces filled with emotions. He took photos in dangered areas where photography or any leak information are not allowed.
“Most of my images are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape, that you could call the human condition.”

I feel that Steve is very daring and I like the way how he shoot the most natural state of a human. Even with a simple potrait, the picture talks alot about the person or even their personality, culture etc. I wish to be able to achieve something like that, not afraid to take pictures of humans and show the beauty of nature in humans.
