Steve McCurry at the Gallery of Photography

There are few living legends in the world of photography, but Steve McCurry is one.

As part of his exhibition of iconic colour photographs in the Gallery of Photography, Steve was in Dublin last week to deliver a talk about his work. I was very fortunate to be there and to catch up with him later at his book signing.

Probably the most outstanding photographer working in colour today, Steve McCurry has influenced a generation of photographers. For me he is the master of natural light portrait photography, with a unique ability to capture the humanity and the very soul of his subjects.

Most people are familiar with his portrait of "The Afghan Girl" for National Geographic Magazine, which was described recently as "the Mona Lisa of the 20th century".

Every image in this exhibition is a work of art. Give yourself a real treat and drop in to see this world of colour at the Gallery of Photography in Temple Bar. The exhibition runs until April 24.

If you can't make it to Dublin, you can have a look at his work for Magnum or on his Website.
