Description

Published by Phaidon as a companion to the bestseller “South Southeast,” this 2009 hardcover edition of “The Unguarded Moment” is a masterpiece of high-fidelity color printing. Steve McCurry, a member of Magnum Photos and a regular National Geographic contributor, uses his lens to bridge cultural divides. The 156-page volume features intense portraits and vivid daily scenes from countries including Afghanistan, India, Mali, and Yemen. This oversized “folio” edition is highly prized by collectors for its physical presence and the sheer scale of the reproductions.
