## Resource

For more than five decades, Steve McCurry has documented people, places and cultures around the world, creating some of the most recognisable photographs in history. In this episode of How I See: The Leica Podcast , Steve reflects on the experiences that shaped his career, from travelling through India with rolls of Kodachrome to embracing digital photography today. He shares why curiosity and observation remain at the heart of great photography, the importance of practising every day, and why making prints is still one of the most meaningful ways to preserve your work. Together with host Louise Goldstone, Steve also discusses visual storytelling, revisiting the same places over time, and the universal language of photography. A thoughtful conversation with one of the world's most influential photographers about craft, creativity and a lifetime spent behind the camera.
