Recensioner i media

Praise for the hardback edition:"McCurry's lushly coloured, far flung reportage has made his work some of the most recognisable among that of Magnum photographers."—Telegraph"It makes you want to get out and see the world, camera in hand..."—Amateur Photographer"Steve McCurry Untold spans 30 years of McCurry's career and includes fascinating ephemera from his travels: diary entries, photos of him at work, and some of the 20-plus passports he's gone through over the decades... He manages to make the world seem enormous and quite small; exotic, and somehow familiar."—Time"Spread over some 250 pages are famous and lesser-known images, as well as anecdotes and shots of ephemera he gathered along the way, including letters and journal pages."—Wall Street Journal"The word daredevil springs to mind when describing the images that Steve McCurry has captured over the years. Always willing to put himself right in the thick of things if it means snapping a small piece of history... Almost every image within the book will have you set down your coffee and pull the book closer. Full of emotionally-charged imagery, the book gifts us with some of the rawest insights into the world's hardest-hitting events and their effects."—The Essential Journal"This paperback maintains the impact of the earlier edition, and the stories behind the images elevate book above a standard 'greatest' hits' compilation."—Amateur Photographer"Steve McCurry Untold invites you to delve behind the lens to uncover tales surrounding images like 'Afghan Girl'."—Food and Travel
