Editorial Reviews:

This is a portfolio of the best of Steve McCurry's photography: classical, magical and powerful images from South and Southeast Asia. McCurry takes photographs all over the world, for National Geographic magazine and his own projects, but it is the people, places, colours and forms of Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Myanmar (Burma) that have inspired his most sublime images -- photographs which transcend their original editorial purpose to become classics of photography. South Southeast features sixty-seven photographs with brief captions. A short text about McCurry introduces the book and he has written commentaries to accompany eight of the images, telling the stories behind them.

Summary: South Southeast
Comment: amazing photos, beautifully printed in a well designed book.
My only complaint is that there is not more infornation about the photographer and about the circumstances the images were shot under.
A fantastic portfoilio of images by one of the worlds best shooters.

Summary: The best from McCurry is this print
Comment: Don't buy Steve McCurry's other prints to save a few dollars...they simply don't do the man justice. This print is the BEST. Steve is a genius of photography and can do what most can't. In this print, you actually get to enjoy the picture, the colors, the people, and the scene. It is BIG, HIGH quality, and without distractions. He doesn't need to tell the story, the picture does. I love this print of South Southeast and I searched long to get it. The bookstores are selling little ones, probably smaller than 8x10, and they are not impressive.
While McCurry has a long legacy of photography, this book captures in my opinion the portraits, the scene, the person, the culture and the mood. I LOVE IT. I don't know how he does it. We have used this book in my photo classes at school on many occasions.

Summary: A feast to your eyes - A must see
Comment: I love Steve's style of photography and I should say that Phaidon Press has done an equally commendable job at the presentation of the photographs and the picture quality of the prints. They are absolutely STUNNING!!
This is a big book almost 11"x16" and the has prints almost the same size. It is a hard stich bound book and opens up flat. There is one thing which I wish was there, some brief description of Steve's thought in what inspired him to take those pictures, kind of giving some sort of thought process in making those wonderful pictures. I had seen a similar book on the same author describing the process and I really liked that.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Summary: A true photographic work of art
Comment: Had the opportunity recently to see many of the pictures from this book during a Steve McCurry exhibit at the George Eastman House in Rochester. If you are in the Rochester, NY area I highly reccommend this exhibit. Just amazing pictures. McCurry combines the immediacy of photojournalism with the artist's use of color and composition. Steve McCurry's work is a must for any lover of beautiful, thought-provoking photographic art.

Summary: Best of Steve McCurry's work
Comment: Steve's colors really flared in this collection of his best. The format of the book is very well thot out: every image is printed with full page frame to enhance the viewing pleasure. The Afghan-girl is, of course, in there. Highly recommended for learners & for art book collectors.
