No contemporary photographer is more associated with the Indian subcontinent and Afghanistan, its troubled neighbor, than Steve McCurry. His iconic 1984 photograph Afghan Girl put a face to what was then an almost unknown culture. As a member of Magnum Photos and a regular contributor to National Geographic, he continues to interpret this complex and compelling part of the world.

Looking East consists of 64 photographs drawn from more than thirty years of work in this region. It includes both the original Afghan Girl and the moving portraits McCurry made when he located her again seventeen years later, as well as portraits, landscapes, and scenes of daily life that capture both struggle and joy in the true documentary tradition.
