Portraits of Us

Italy

Most of my pictures are grounded in people.
I look for the unguarded moment, experience etched
on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like
to be that person, a person caught in a
broader landscape that is
called the human condition.
– Steve McCurry

Tahiti

Namibia

Puerto Rico

What could be more simple and more complex,
more obvious and more profound than a portrait.

– Charles Baudelaire

Spain

South Africa

Togo

Namibia

The most difficult thing for me is a portrait.
You have to try to put your camera between the
skin of a person and his shirt.

– Henri Cartier – Bresson

Ukraine

Burma

Nepal

Mexico

A true portrait should today and a
hundred years from today,
be the testimony of how this person looked and
what kind of human being he was.

– Philippe Halsman

Ethiopia

India

Jordan

Nepal

Photography and the genre of portraiture have
enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship.
From the beginning of depiction,
the portrait has invited its
audience to recognize the
identity of the subject and then to remember.

– Anthony Bannon

Italy

I photographed Mara Marcetelli in Piazza Navona in 1990, and met her again at the same bench in the summer of 2023. Rome, Italy.

This powerful collection of images is collected from the entirety of McCurry’s forty-year career traveling to every corner of the globe. From a mosque in Afghanistan to Burma’s Golden Rock; an Easter offering in Paraguay to an elderly couple at Lourdes; a Tibetan monk in India to evangelicals in America’s heartland.
McCurry captures penetrating moments of devotion, loyalty, faithfulness, and dedication.
Reproduced in stunning color, these photographs honor the universal desire to create meaning in the midst of everyday life and offer viewers an opportunity to connect with their own spirituality—whatever form that takes.

Home is the nicest word there is.

Home is where one starts from.

– T.S. Eliot

Afghanistan

Afghanistan

Tibet

It takes a lot of living to make a house a home

It doesn’t make any difference how rich you get to be

How much your chairs and tables cost, how great your luxury

It isn’t home to you though it be the palace of a king,

Until somehow your soul is wrapped round everything.

– Paraphrase of Edgar Guest poem, Home

Ukraine

Arctic

Burma

A  home is one of the most sacred of places.  It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world’s perils and alarms. It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the battle and toils of tomorrow. It is the place where love learns its lessons, where life is schooled into discipline and strength, where character is molded.

– J.R. Miller

Vietnam

Tibet

Mongolia

All journeys eventually end in the same place, home.

– Chris Geiger

Ethiopia

Indonesia

He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A man travels the world in search of what he
needs and returns home to find it.

Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.

– John Howard Payne
