South Southeast is a portfolio of Steve Mc Curry's best photography, showing classical, magical & powerful images from South & Southeast Asia. Mc Curry takes photographs all over the world, for National Geographic magazine & his own projects, but it is the people, places, colours & forms of South & Southeast Asia that Steve has found most inspiring. It is in Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia & Mynamar (Burma) that Mc Curry has captured his most sublime photographs to create images that transcend their original editorial purpose to become timeless classics of our era. South Southeast features 69 photographs, each one with a full double-page spread to itself. Introducing the book is a succinct text about Mc Curry, & accompanying the photographs are brief captions. Eight of the photographs are accompanied by short texts written by Mc Curry himself, telling the fascinating stories behind the striking images. The National Press Photographers Association & the Missouri School of Journalism ' Pictures of the Year Competition' awarded this book First Place in the Best Use of Photography category. Steve Mc Curry is an internationally-acclaimed photojournalist whose daring & groundbreaking work in Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion secured his status as a living legend of photography.
