Steve McCurry: Photographing Afghanistan

Newshour

Available for over a year

Since his first visit to Afghanistan in the 1970s, American photographer Steve McCurry has been a frequent visitor to the country, documenting war, peace, scenery, and the Afghan people themselves. An exhibition of his work there is on display at the Beetles and Huxley gallery in London. Razia Iqbal went along and asked Steve McCurry what drew him to Afghanistan.
