Reflecting the Power of Portraiture
In homage to Steve McCurry's iconic 1985 National Geographic image of Sharbat Gula (famously known as the Afghan girl). Digging through some of my older image libraries, I came across this image which is so very current and to me portrays the poignant struggles of Gaza. The barbed wire and raw emotion in this portrait encapsulate the strength and resilience in the face of adversity. This image was part of a reportage competition and stands as a testament to the powerful stories that portraiture can tell. The June 1985 issue of National Geographic magazine made the "Afghan Girl" world famous.
