The Human Body Atlas

New York based photojournalist Steve McCurry is recognised internationally for his classic reportage, and his work has won him numerous awards, including Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1984. He had just completed a two year working tour of India when he was commissioned by the national Geographic to cover the monsoon season. For a further six months he followed the path of the monsoon from the topics of the eastern hemisphere, through Southeast Asia to Northern Australia. The resulting photographs dramatic, vital and devastaingly real, are presented in this memorable volume, with McCurry's personal account of the challenging assignment. With 84 colour illustrations.
