#10 National Geographic (June 1985)Photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan. The photo became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985. Since then, this raw, untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely reproduced photos in the world.
I belive this is a very powerful photograph. The first time I saw this cover I was completely stopped by it. Everything about this photograph captures the story of this young girl from her raggedy clothes to her filthy appearance. The soft lighting adds to the bold tone colors and accent the girl terrified eyes. The photograph sends a powerful message that gives you an insight to the story of it.
