Some of his most iconic photographs full of emotion. A source of inspiration for all portrait photographers.

Some absolutely amazing portraits of people of all ages from all over Asia. It captures the essence of these people and they feel alive on the page.

Steve McCurry is my favorite photographer, and this large format book is an absolute visual feast. The portraits have an amazing visceral quality and a shimmering beauty, not from fancy effects or digital manipulation, but rather from the raw power and truth emanating from the gorgeous subjects themselves. I love it.

My sister Taryn gave us this book for Christmas and it is really cool. It is full of amazingly gorgeous portraits of people from South and Southeast Asia (Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Pakistan, and Tibet.) Definatley one of my favorite photography books.
