The guys at Phaidon, are doing this one minute MasterClass series, with the Master, Steve McCurry himself. Steve, the renowned photographer started his career by illegally crossing over to Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion and coming back with photographs unseen till then. His famous Afghan Girl - National Geographic photograph made him a household name and today he is regarded as one of the finest image makers. You could watch the masterclass series here #2 The importance of Vantage Point and #3 Be in the Moment. This is going to be a 10 video series so I would suggest you bookmark this now. I would post the other links as they come.
While Steve has made photographs world over, his work in Asia, South Asia specially his coverage of war striven Afghanistan, and India resonates with folks from India.
Talking about his time in India he said, it was in India he learnt the art of wait and watch life. 'If you wait, people will forget your camera and soul will drift up in view', he said.
Here are some of great photographs shot in India, the ones I really like. For more please feel free to visit Steve's Blog and his website. All photographs posted here are Copyrighted by Steve McCurry.
