For over forty years, legendary photographer Steve McCurry has been traveling the world and documenting the human condition through his iconic images. Invariably, his attention turned not only to humans and the way that they behave, but also to the animals that surrounds us. Most importantly, McCurry’s interest in the complex relationship between animals, humans, and their environment was apparent in his photography. Steve McCurry.
