Some of the most powerful photos ever taken.
Photojournalist Steve McCurry is showcasing a lifetime of work by opening a retrospective art exhibit featuring 150 photos that he has taken throughout his career.
“For me a portrait is about connection, somehow you connect with a person, visually or emotionally,” McCurry told designboom. “I’ve often believed that a person’s life stories are kind of written on their face. It’s magical, it’s mystical the way you can connect to a person, it’s hard to describe. You know it when you see it.”
