Steve McCurry Photography Exhibition
Steve McCurry is American journalist who is known as photographer of Afghan Girl (Şarbat Gula). This photograph was takenn in 1985 by Steve McCurry and both the girl and the photographer were known by all the world.
When i heard that this exhibition would be placed in Ankara, i was very exited about it. Then i went to see and i can say that i totally satisfied. In my opinion, because of being journalist, Steve McCurry focuses on the events, movements, or exact feelings on his photographs. In some other photography exhibitions which i visited before, i realise that, every person can take these photos if the same scene would be there. Actually, even if the photograph would be a landscape or vista photos, there should be special observation or a different perspective. When i think of them, i visited this exhibition and i am strongly agree with my ideas. 🙂
The photography is not a valid artwork when photographer add nothing to the current one. Then, Steve McCurry is very successful photographer in that manner. Now, i want to add my favourite ones and you will realize what i told above.
