The Unguarded Moment: Thirty Years of Photographs


Add your own review!

Overview

The 'unguarded moment' is the term Steve McCurry uses to describe what lies at the centre of his creative process: the moments where his subjects suddenly reveal themselves at their most natural and unselfconscious. The Unguarded Moment gathers flashes of insight which highlight the range and diversity of McCurry's work: young women walking through a dust storm in India; fishermen casting their nets in the Niger river in Mali's Sahel Desert; a boy working in a candy factory in Kabul, Afghanistan; five monks happily playing computer games in an Indian monastery. The result is an extraordinary series of psychologically rich portraits from one of the most popular and creative image-makers in the contemporary world.
