Fotograf Steve Mc Curry

avtor najbolj prepoznavne fotografije revije National Geographic - afganistanske begunke - je bil včeraj gost na razstavi o Afganistanu v Amsterdamu. Ameriški fotograf, katerega fotografije pripovedujejo zgodbe. Pretresejo, vzbudijo čustva in začarajo. Vsaj mene so - tako včeraj na njegovi predstavitvi še neobjavljenih fotografij, kot tudi v njegovih knjigah. Povedal je, da je budist, o svoji formuli za uspeh pa tole:

"If you can just relate to people as real people and establish some rapport, whether you joke around with them or whatever, people respond and open up, and are happy to be photographed. I don’t think there’s any mystery or trick about it. I think a lot of times the mistake people make, is that they see these people as different. But once you break that ice they’re like anybody else. They just happen to be working in a field or as a monk in a monastery. The thing that fascinates me is that we’re all playing these different roles but we’re all part of the same human race. We’re the same, but we do things in different ways. We eat different food live in different houses speak different languages."

Njegovo zgodbo sem lani brala v National Geographic in me je prevzela, kot me vedno znova prevzamejo njegove fotografije. Človek, ki zna ujeti zgodbo v oči ...
