Steve McCurry - Retrospective
Highlights from the Birmingham exhibition that draws on a 20 year career spanning continents and conflicts
The legendary photo-journalist and Magnum Photographer Steve McCurry spoke to Phaidon.com about the stories behind some of his iconic photographs taken from around the world.
McCurry gave us a personal tour of his major retrospective at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (until 17 October).
Every image tells a story, but it's rather special to hear it from the photographer.
